# systemd-ask-password
|
|
|
|
> Query the user for a system password.
|
|
> More information: <https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/latest/systemd-ask-password.html>.
|
|
|
|
- Query a system password with a specific prompt:
|
|
|
|
`systemd-ask-password "{{prompt}}"`
|
|
|
|
- Specify an identifier for the password query:
|
|
|
|
`systemd-ask-password --id {{identifier}} "{{prompt}}"`
|
|
|
|
- Use a kernel keyring key name as a cache for the password:
|
|
|
|
`systemd-ask-password --keyname {{key_name}} "{{prompt}}"`
|
|
|
|
- Set a custom timeout for the password query:
|
|
|
|
`systemd-ask-password --timeout {{seconds}} "{{prompt}}"`
|
|
|
|
- Force the use of an agent system and never ask on current TTY:
|
|
|
|
`systemd-ask-password --no-tty "{{prompt}}"`
|
|
|
|
- Store a password in the kernel keyring without displaying it:
|
|
|
|
`systemd-ask-password --no-output --keyname {{key_name}} "{{prompt}}"`
|
|
|
|
- Pipe a password to a command, stripping the trailing newline:
|
|
|
|
`systemd-ask-password -n | {{command}}`
|
|
|
|
- Display help:
|
|
|
|
`systemd-ask-password {{[-h|--help]}}`
