When run from a TTY it will - query a password on the TTY and print it to standard output. When - run with no TTY or with it will query - the password system-wide and allow active users to respond via - several agents. The latter is only available to privileged - processes. - - The purpose of this tool is to query system-wide passwords - -- that is passwords not attached to a specific user account. - Examples include: unlocking encrypted hard disks when they are - plugged in or at boot, entering an SSL certificate passphrase for - web and VPN servers. - - Existing agents are: a boot-time password agent asking the - user for passwords using Plymouth; a boot-time password agent - querying the user directly on the console; an agent requesting - password input via a - wall1 - message; an agent suitable for running in a GNOME session; a - command line agent which can be started temporarily to process - queued password requests; a TTY agent that is temporarily spawned - during - systemctl1 - invocations. - - Additional password agents may be implemented according to - the systemd - Password Agent Specification. - - If a password is queried on a TTY, the user may press TAB to - hide the asterisks normally shown for each character typed. - Pressing Backspace as first key achieves the same effect. - - - - - Options - - The following options are understood: - - - - - - Specify an icon name alongside the password - query, which may be used in all agents supporting graphical - display. The icon name should follow the XDG - Icon Naming Specification. - - - - - - Specify the query timeout in seconds. Defaults - to 90s. A timeout of 0 waits indefinitely. - - - - - - Echo the user input instead of masking it. - This is useful when using - systemd-ask-password to query for - usernames. - - - - - - Never ask for password on current TTY even if - one is available. Always use agent system. - - - - - - If passed, accept cached passwords, i.e. - passwords previously typed in. - - - - - - When used in conjunction with - accept multiple passwords. - This will output one password per line. - - - - - - - - - Exit status - - On success, 0 is returned, a non-zero failure code - otherwise. - - - - See Also - - systemd1, - systemctl1, - plymouth8, - wall1 - - - -
