Lukasz,

You can use the the EXTRA_USER_PARAMS variable in your image recipe: https://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/current/mega-manual/mega-manual.html#ref-classes-extrausers. Both usermod and useradd take a plaintext password with the -P option, but I believe the password is then encrypted prior to being saved in /etc/shadow. Then you'll need to follow proper precautions to ensure your image recipe stays secret since it'd include the plaintext password.

Crypt the password yourself and pass it in to the adduser command.

What is the best way in Yocto (warrior) to add crypted password to
/etc/shadow during buildtime?

Using useradd.bbclass in a standard way we may add only passwords <= 8
characters.
"-p" parameterr followed by the output of "openssl passwd -crypt
pAsswOrd" works fine.

I thought that class may be cheated by providing after "-p" string returned
by "openssl passwd -6 verylongpAsswOrd", but it does not work: the
password in /etc/shadow file is truncated:

myuser:/D163GofCVEpMgZ.w2Ro3Z.b5S8XT1:18190:0:99999:7:::

Any suggestions?

Thank you in advance.
