Like you, I also found that part super confusing. As a declarative
operating system, Guix creates the lines in /etc/passwd at boot time
unless they exist already.
Personally, I succeeded with a config.scm that specified an explicit
password. [1] I changed the password immediately upon login and then
removed it from the config.scm. Those are my user declarations now,
[2] and that's how I use them. [3]
Perhaps that information is helpful to you. Thanks for using GNU Guix!
Kind regards
Felix
