This seems to be insecure and qemu gives me the warning "password is deprecated. use password-secret instead". When I searched the man page for spice ticketing I got the following result: "password-secret=<secret-id>: Set the ID of the secret object containing the password you need to authenticate.". Now I wonder what this ID is. Where can I find it? And what do I need to do in order to create such a secret password?

Hi Johannes,
  From the SPICE library nothing changed, the change is about Qemu
command line options. See
https://www.qemu.org/docs/master/system/secrets.html.
