Description
When attempting to setup any products outside of the wizard you are required to find and enter your API username and password in order to proceed. This affects all products when working outside the wizard, so VPS and Private Cloud work inside the wizard but not when making a product manually.
The real usability issue here is that the credentials are stored in WHMCS after the initial connection, but they are not being used when creating products out side the Wizard; this adds a huge hurdle to creating Addon type products.

Research direction
Start by tracing the PHP product-creation path used outside the Wizard and compare it with the Wizard's credential handling. Reproduce manual VPS, Private Cloud, and Addon product creation; done means products can use the API username and password already stored after the initial connection without asking users to re-enter them.
