passwd(1) - change user password
NAME
passwd - change user password
SYNOPSIS
passwd [options] [LOGIN]
DESCRIPTION
The passwd command changes passwords for user accounts. A normal user may only change the password for their own account; the superuser may change the password for any account. passwd also changes the account or associated password validity period.
When invoked without a LOGIN argument, passwd changes the password for the current user.
OPTIONS
- -a, --all
- Report password status on all accounts. Requires -S.
- -d, --delete
- Delete the password for the named account. This makes the account passwordless.
- -e, --expire
- Immediately expire the password for the named account. This forces the user to change their password at next login.
- -i, --inactive INACTIVE
- Set the number of days of inactivity after a password has expired before the account is locked.
- -k, --keep-tokens
- Change password only if expired.
- -l, --lock
- Lock the password of the named account. This prepends a '!' to the encrypted password, effectively disabling the password.
- -n, --mindays MIN_DAYS
- Set the minimum number of days between password changes.
- -q, --quiet
- Quiet mode.
- -r, --repository REPOSITORY
- Change password in the named repository.
- -R, --root CHROOT_DIR
- Apply changes in the CHROOT_DIR directory and use the configuration files from the CHROOT_DIR directory.
- -P, --prefix PREFIX_DIR
- Use PREFIX_DIR as a prefix for system file paths.
- -S, --status
- Display account status information. The status information consists of 7 fields: login name, password status (L=locked, NP=no password, P=usable password), date of last password change, minimum age, maximum age, warning period, and inactivity period.
- -s, --stdin
- Read the new password token from standard input.
- -u, --unlock
- Unlock the password of the named account. This removes the '!' prefix from the encrypted password.
- -w, --warndays WARN_DAYS
- Set the number of days of warning before a password change is required.
- -x, --maxdays MAX_DAYS
- Set the maximum number of days a password remains valid.
EXIT STATUS
- 0
- Success.
- 1
- Permission denied or operation failed.
