I can set it to "" which is empty password, but a VNC client connecting still asks to enter a password. It does log in if I enter the empty string, but I think it should not ask the password at all. Or is there any other way to disable password authentication, different from setting an empty password string? Note: I am using set_password from qemu-monitor (actually libvirt's qemu-monitor-command). Thank you
