....ummm.... I am the only user on each client computer (different user name
on each), yet on each machine I have to log into launchpad using the
password (same password for all of them and for the entire homegroup,
network, etc, by the way). I also do not see the need for this requirement.
In v1, while there is no launchpad per se, there is the WHS icon in the
notification tray with right click options (which to me amounts to the same
sort of thing as the options offered by the launchpad. So.... why the
requirement for password and log in? Why is i not simply started with
computer start-up?
Even if there was other users on each client machine, would we not want ALL
of them to benefit by the options offered by the launchpad (therefore not
requiring login & password) – especially if it later incorporates complete
network health notifications. I am talking solely of the Launchpad password
and log in requirement, not the Dashboard requirement (that surely should
always require password and log in.)

Microsoft hasn't released a new build, so no, it's not possible yet.
The password is only required if/when you switch from one Vail user to
another on the same computer. I don't think there's any way for Microsoft to
get rid of it entirely for the dashboard, but at least this way you don't
have all the irritation of dealing with credentials that look the same on
client and server, but differ behind the scenes. Everything is "out in the
open" now.
I'm not on the WHS team, I just post a lot. :)
