- Query a system password with a specific prompt:
`systemd-ask-password "{{prompt}}"`
- Specify an identifier for the password query:
`systemd-ask-password --id {{identifier}} "{{prompt}}"`
- Use a kernel keyring key name as a cache for the password:
`systemd-ask-password --keyname {{key_name}} "{{prompt}}"`
- Set a custom timeout for the password query:
`systemd-ask-password --timeout {{seconds}} "{{prompt}}"`
- Force the use of an agent system and never ask on current TTY:
`systemd-ask-password --no-tty "{{prompt}}"`
- Store a password in the kernel keyring without displaying it:
`systemd-ask-password --no-output --keyname {{key_name}} "{{prompt}}"`
- Pass the asked password to another program:
`systemd-ask-password | {{command}}`
- Display help:
`systemd-ask-password {{[-h|--help]}}`
