Use vipw to put 13 * in the password field

From passwd(5)
[...]
authentication, conventionally have 13 asterisks in the password field.

Thank you! Now that I know what I'm looking for, I can see the relevant code in security(8), too.

I wonder if there's a way for ports to do that for me while calling useradd? Another rabbit hole to go down.

Thanks again,
-Adam
