Just installed PIVX wallet, it took forever to sync, then I was presented with a screen which allows to send/receive money.
There is no password or private keys. Basically, once you open the wallet you are never asked to enter a password or anything, you can start sending money immediately.  I am running Mac OS if that makes a difference.

You have to encrypt the wallet for yourself if you want a password. It's in settings, encrypt wallet.

If you want your private key you can use the command dumpprivkey pivxaddress in Tools > Debug Console.

This is pretty much how almost all desktop wallets work.

Not your keys, not your coins!
