quino password

Example

The following commmand starts an interactive command-line tool that asks the user for a password and emits the encrypted version of it.

quino password

Purpose

Quino products use configuration files that will sometimes contain sensitive information like passwords. Quino provides a static encryption service that is obfuscatory and provides protection from passwords being read directly out of these configuration files.

Just as with regular passwords, these encrypted passwords should not be checked in to source control.

The common use case is for engineers to encrypt passwords for databases before placing them into local configuration files.

Function

Anyone can use this tool to generate encrypted versions of passwords.

Command line

If the command is run without parameters, it prompts the user for a password.

The command can be controlled with the following additional parameters.

Name	Values/Example	Description
