option

users.users.<name>.password

Specifies the (clear text) password for the user. Warning: do not set confidential information here because it is world-readable in the Nix store. This option should only be used for public accounts. The options hashedPassword, password and hashedPasswordFile controls what password is set for the user. hashedPassword overrides both password and hashedPasswordFile. password overrides hashedPasswordFile. If none of these three options are set, no password is assigned to the user, and the user will not be able to do password logins. If the option users.mutableUsers is true, the password defined in one of the three options will only be set when the user is created for the first time. After that, you are free to change the password with the ordinary user management commands. If users.mutableUsers is false, you cannot change user passwords, they will always be set according to the password options.
