systemd-ask-password

Query the user for a system password. More information: https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd-ask-password.html.

  • Query a system password with a specific message:

systemd-ask-password "{{message}}"

  • Specify an identifier for the password query:

systemd-ask-password --id={{identifier}} "{{message}}"

  • Use a kernel keyring key name as a cache for the password:

systemd-ask-password --keyname={{key_name}} "{{message}}"

  • Set a custom timeout for the password query:

systemd-ask-password --timeout={{seconds}} "{{message}}"

  • Force the use of an agent system and never ask on current TTY:

systemd-ask-password --no-tty "{{message}}"

  • Store a password in the kernel keyring without displaying it:

systemd-ask-password --no-output --keyname={{key_name}} "{{message}}"
