NAME

rsop-change-key-password - Updates a key's password

SYNOPSIS

rsop change-key-password [--no-armor] [--new-key-password] [--old-key-password] [--debug] [-h|--help]

DESCRIPTION

Updates a key's password.

The output will be the same set of OpenPGP Transferable Secret Keys as the input, but with all secret key material locked according to the password indicated by the `--new-key-password` option (or, with no password at all, if `--new-key-password` is absent). Note that `--old-key-password` can be supplied multiple times, and each supplied password will be tried as a means to unlock any locked key material encountered. It will normalize a Transferable Secret Key to use a single password even if it originally had distinct passwords locking each of the subkeys.

If any secret key packet is locked but cannot be unlocked with any of the supplied `--old-key-password` arguments, this subcommand should fail with `KEY_IS_PROTECTED`.

OPTIONS

Don't ASCII-armor output
