If setting the option prompt to true, the user will be prompted to type in their desired password.
!!! Note
This module will set `mutableUsers` to `false`, meaning you can not manage user passwords through `passwd` anymore.
After the system was installed/deployed the following command can be used to display the user-password:
```bash
clan vars get [machine_name] root-password/root-password
```
See also: [Vars](../../guides/vars-backend.md)
To regenerate the password run:
```
clan vars generate --regenerate [machine_name] --generator user-password
```
