Inlined credentials: read missing password from management interface

When commit 39619b7fab added support for inlining username only,
fallback for password was from console. This is not ideal when
graphical UI is in use as there is no console. Instead, query the
management interface when possible.

This patch just extends a similar fix when username is read from
a file and password is missing. As before, any username read
from file or inlined is not peserved as we currently have no way
of locking the username in the management interface prompt.
