NAME
       sq-key-password - Change	the password protecting	secret key material

SYNOPSIS
       sq key 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.

       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 sup-
       plied using the `--password-file` argument, the user  is	 prompted  for
       the  password.	Likewise, if the new password isn't provided, the user
       is prompted.
