pass-update(1) General Commands Manual pass-update(1) NAME pass-update - A pass(1) extension that provides an easy flow for updating passwords. SYNOPSIS pass update [options] pass-names... DESCRIPTION pass update extends the pass utility with an update command providing an easy flow for updating passwords. It supports path, directory and wildcard update. Moreover, you can select how to update your passwords by automati- cally generating new passwords or manually setting your own. pass update assumes that the first line of the password file is the pass- word and so only ever updates the first line unless the --multiline option is specified. By default pass update prints the old password and wait for the user before generating a new one. This behaviour can be changed using the provided op- tions. COMMAND pass update [ --clip, -c ] [ --no-symbols, -n ] [ --provide, -p ] [--length=<size>, -l <size>] [ --include=<regex>, -i <regex> ] [ --exclude=<regex>, -e=<regex> ] [ --edit, -E ] [ --multiline, -m ] pass-names... Update the password provided: print the password and wait for the user to generate a new one. pass-names can refer either to password store path(s) or directory. Both path and directory can be given in the same command. When up- dating a directory, all the passwords in this directory are updated. Wildcard update is supported by quoting '*' sign. Both old and newly generated password can optionally be written on the clipboard using the --clip or -c option. If --no-symbols or -n is specified, do not use any non-alphanumeric characters in the generated password. Specific password length can be given using --length or -l is speci- fied, along with a numerical argument. If --provide or -p is specified, let the user specify a password by hand. The user will have to confirm the password. If --multiline or -m is specified, update a multiline password. Be- ware this option will overwrite the full password file instead of updating the password field. If --include or -i is specified, Only update the passwords that match a given regex. If --exclude or -e is specified, Do not update the passwords that match a given regex. If --edit or -E is specified, edit the password using the default editor. This editor can be specified with EDITOR. If --force or -f is specified, pass update does not wait for the user and generate a new password immediately. OPTIONS -c, --clip Write the password in the clipboard. -n, --no-symbols Do not use any non-alphanumeric characters. -l <size>, --length=<size> Provide a password length. -p, --provide Let the user specify a password by hand. -m, --multiline Update a multiline password. -e <regex>, --exclude=<regex> Do not update the passwords that macth a regex. -i <regex>, --include=<regex> Only update the passwords that match a regex. -E, --edit Edit the password using the default editor. -f, --force Force to update and do not wait for user instruction. -V, --version Show version information -h, --help Show usage message.
