To edit a vault you need to provide the index or the name of the vault. If you provide the index, the vault will be edited by its index, if you provide the name, the vault will be edited the first vault with the given name.

You can edit the vault name, username, password, service, note, TOTP secret, and custom fields.

For secrets like the password and TOTP secret, you can provide them as arguments or you will be prompted for them.

Custom fields

If you want to add a custom field to the vault, you can use the -c, --custom option, and provide the key-value pair. If you want to delete a custom field, you can provide the key with an empty value, e.g. -c key="". If the custom field not exist it will be created, if it's exist it will be updated.

You can't add a new custom field prefixed with .lprsfield. because it's reserved for backwards compatibility.

Examples

Edit a vault by its index:

lprs edit 1 -n new-vault-name -u new-username -p new-password -s new-service -o new-note -t new-totp-secret -c key1=value1 -c key2=value2

Edit a vault password by its name:

# You will be prompted for the new password
lprs edit my-vault -p

Remove a custom field from a vault by its name:

lprs edit my-vault -c key1=""

Notes

• The index is one-based (the first vault is 1).
