DaanHoogland commented on issue #2982: Why are passwords encrypted with the SSH public key? URL: https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/issues/2982#issuecomment-434199993 Good question @Overv , obviously someone considered it a piece of sensitive information, but I have no idea why. I actually think it is never used again for userVMs except maybe during initial boot, to configure the new VM with it. I see no link to the ssh public key but this (https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/blob/master/server/src/main/java/com/cloud/vm/UserVmManagerImpl.java#L4460) is where the password is decrypted. Have a look at the config drive code to see where it is decrypted, if this doesn't answer your question.
