** Description changed:

  gnome-boxes saves "setup-data.conf" and all it's containing info - such
  as usernames, passwords, and private license codes - as plaintext.
  
  This can be considered a security risk and can allow leakage of such
  content much easier to get into the wrong hands.
  
- File location: '/home/<username>/.config/gnome-boxes'

+ File location: '/home/<username>/.config/gnome-boxes/unattended'
