sq key password - Change the password protecting secret key material

Description

       Change the password protecting secret key material.

       Secret key material can be protected by a password.  This subcommand changes or clears the password.

       To  strip  the  password  either use `--clear` or supply a zero-length password when prompted for the new
       password.

       If a key is password protected, and the correct password was not  supplied  using  the  `--password-file`
       argument,  the user is prompted for the password.  Likewise, if the new password isn't provided, the user
       is prompted.

Examples

       Change the password for all of Alice's keys to the password in the specified file.

              sq key password --new-password-file password-file.txt --cert \
                     EB28F26E2739A4870ECC47726F0073F60FD0CBF0

       Clear the password protection for all of Alice's keys.

              sq key password --password-file password-file.txt \
                     --clear-password --cert \
                     EB28F26E2739A4870ECC47726F0073F60FD0CBF0
