You can choose it. I created a emergency user with zpasswd and it asked 
me what kind of encryption I would like either SHA or CRYPT.

I noticed not all the users have encrypted passwords. I have two users 
the admin and my user on the basic Zope UserFolder of a fresh install of 
Zope 2.7.2-RC1. "admin" has an encrypted password because I created it 
with zpasswd, but my normal user was created from the ZMI and has a 
plain password. Why isn't this included by default? Or at least an 
option on the manage_addUser method to choose either or not to encrypt 
the password?

That's the only answer. You can't get them from the air
A good external method to start:

to get the password, just call the _getPassword method of the user object.
