NAME
       openssl-passwd -	compute	password hashes

SYNOPSIS
       openssl passwd [-help] [-1] [-apr1] [-aixmd5] [-5] [-6] [-salt string]
       [-in file] [-stdin] [-noverify] [-quiet]	[-table] [-reverse] [-rand
       files] [-writerand file]	[-provider name] [-provider-path path]
       [-propquery propq] [password]

DESCRIPTION
       This command computes the hash of a password typed at run-time or the
       hash of each password in	a list.	 The password list is taken from the
       named file for option -in, from stdin for option	-stdin,	or from	the
       command line, or	from the terminal otherwise.

OPTIONS
       -help
	   Print out a usage message.

       -1  Use the MD5 based BSD password algorithm 1 (default).

       -apr1
	   Use the apr1	algorithm (Apache variant of the BSD algorithm).

       -aixmd5
	   Use the AIX MD5 algorithm (AIX variant of the BSD algorithm).

       -5
       -6  Use the SHA256 / SHA512 based algorithms defined by Ulrich Drepper.
	   See <https://www.akkadia.org/drepper/SHA-crypt.txt>.

       -salt string
	   Use the specified salt.  When reading a password from the terminal,
	   this	implies	-noverify.

       -in file
	   Read	passwords from file.

       -stdin
	   Read	passwords from stdin.

       -noverify
	   Don't verify	when reading a password	from the terminal.

       -quiet
	   Don't  output warnings when passwords given at the command line are
	   truncated.

       -table
	   In the output list,	prepend	 the  cleartext	 password  and	a  TAB
	   character to	each password hash.

       -reverse
	   When	 the -table option is used, reverse the	order of cleartext and
	   hash.

       -rand files, -writerand file
	   See "Random State Options" in openssl(1) for	details.

       -provider name
       -provider-path path
       -propquery propq
	   See "Provider Options" in openssl(1), provider(7), and property(7).

EXAMPLES
	 % openssl passwd -1 -salt xxxxxxxx password
	 $1$xxxxxxxx$UYCIxa628.9qXjpQCjM4a.

	 % openssl passwd -apr1	-salt xxxxxxxx password
	 $apr1$xxxxxxxx$dxHfLAsjHkDRmG83UXe8K0

	 % openssl passwd -aixmd5 -salt	xxxxxxxx password
	 xxxxxxxx$8Oaipk/GPKhC64w/YVeFD/

HISTORY
       The -crypt option was removed in	OpenSSL	3.0.
