NAME
       sq-key-subkey-password  - Change	the password protecting	secret key ma-
       terial

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.

       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.
