SQ(1) User Commands SQ(1) NAME sq-key-subkey-password - Change the password protecting secret key material SYNOPSIS sq key subkey password [OPTIONS] DESCRIPTION Change the password protecting secret key material. Secret key material can be protected by a password. This subcommand changes or clears the password of one or more keys.
