Creating a WebLogin using REST - can password be set?

As of v12.5, this resource/URI (POST to CRM/WebLogins) is only used for creation of logins with a temporary password (system generated). 

Until this capability is brought to the REST API in a later version, look to either CreateLogin or UpdateLogin methods in the existing SOAP/Tessitura.asmx.

Subject: [Tessitura Web Forum] Creating a WebLogin using REST - can password be set?

Our organisation is building a mobile app where users will be able to log in or create a new account.  We want to manage these accounts with Tessitura WebLogins to maintain single-sign-on ability with our main website that is integrated with Tessitura.

As the REST API is the way of the future, I am looking at the /CRM/WebLogins/  POST endpoint for the creation of a new WebLogin.  

(Sample request from the docs for reference:) 

<WebLogin>

   <Constituent>

     <Id>2147483647</Id>

   </Constituent>

   <ConstituentUpdateDate>1999-05-31T11:20:00</ConstituentUpdateDate>

   <CreateLocation>String content</CreateLocation>

   <CreatedBy>String content</CreatedBy>

   <CreatedDateTime>1999-05-31T11:20:00</CreatedDateTime>

   <EditIndicator>true</EditIndicator>

   <Email>

     <Id>2147483647</Id>

   </Email>

   <FailedAttempts>2147483647</FailedAttempts>

   <Id>2147483647</Id>

   <Inactive>true</Inactive>

   <LastLoginDate>1999-05-31T11:20:00</LastLoginDate>

   <LockedDate>1999-05-31T11:20:00</LockedDate>

   <Login>String content</Login>

   <LoginType>

     <Description>String content</Description>

     <Id>2147483647</Id>

     <Inactive>true</Inactive>

   </LoginType>

   <PrimaryIndicator>true</PrimaryIndicator>

   <TemporaryIndicator>true</TemporaryIndicator>

   <UpdatedBy>String content</UpdatedBy>

   <UpdatedDateTime>1999-05-31T11:20:00</UpdatedDateTime>

 </WebLogin>

My understanding is that I will have to first create a Constituent and an Electronic Address to populate those Id fields with those of the created records, but my main confusion is that there is no field to provide a password. 

Can somebody please:

1. Advise whether there is the ability to set the password for a new WebLogin, or if we should be using a different API endpoint.

2. Or offer more general advice as to how to allow our end-users the ability to register on our web-app and have a WebLogin record created with their chosen password.

3. We also use the user's email address for their username, so would the 'Login' field also be their email address?
