prlctl enter --current-user not working

When I try to enter a macVM using `prlctl enter --current-user`, it tells me that the user is not validated. If I try to log in with `prlctl enter --user XXX --password YYY`, I get logged in using root still.

This is with the latest parallels desktop.
 
I am running into the same issue on Apple Silicon Mac running macOS Sonoma for both the guest and host.

Code:
❯ prlctl enter macOS

As you can see no matter what it always logs in as root.
