Note

Use of this option is not recommended. Passing passwords through CLI as parameters of the `-passwd` option may potentially compromise the system’s security as command line can be observed by other users of the system. It is more secure to pass passwords through the environment variables. You can transfer non-encrypted passwords by using environment variable `PSA_PASSWORD` while using single quotes to specify the empty values in the command line for the argument of the `-passwd` option.

Similarly, you can transfer encrypted passwords through the environment variable `PSA_CRYPTED_PASSWORD` while using single quotes to specify the empty values in the command line for the argument of the `-passwd` option.
