rclone config password

Update password in an existing remote.

Synopsis

Update an existing remote's password. The password should be passed in pairs of `key` `password` or as `key=password`. The `password` should be passed in in clear (unobscured).

For example, to set password of a remote of name myremote you would do:

rclone config password myremote fieldname mypassword
rclone config password myremote fieldname=mypassword

This command is obsolete now that "config update" and "config create" both support obscuring passwords directly.

rclone config password name [key value]+ [flags]

Options

  -h, --help   help for password

See the [global flags page](/flags/) for global options not listed here.
