PASSBOLT(1)

💖 PASSBOLT(1) — the one where you talk to your Passbolt server from the terminal 🎀

okay so real talk: passbolt is the manual-page-and-CLI situation for Passbolt, and this page is the root command — every other passbolt-* command hangs off it like charms on a bracelet. lowkey iconic that a password tool gives us such a clean front door. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

passbolt — literally a CLI tool to interact with Passbolt. that's the whole job. no notes. 💅

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

passbolt [flags]

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

A CLI tool to interact with Passbolt.

(no cap, the original is that short and honestly? respect. the subcommands do the heavy lifting — see SEE ALSO at the bottom, bestie. 🫶)

👑 OPTIONS 👑

here's the full flag menu, nothing skipped, nothing merged, every default preserved fr fr:

• --config="" — the config file you want it to use. empty string by default, so you're on your own until you point it somewhere 💖
• --debug[=false] — turn on debug logging. defaults to false. turn this on when something's acting sus 🔥
• -h, --help[=false] — help for passbolt. defaults to false. your lil emergency exit when you're lost 🌈
• --mfaDelay=10s — the delay between MFA attempts. defaults to 10s. only used in the noninteractive modes, iykyk ⭐
• --mfaMode="interactive-totp" — how to handle MFA. the modes that exist are: none, interactive-totp and noninteractive-totp. default is interactive-totp 🎀
• --mfaRetrys=3 — how often to retry TOTP auth. defaults to 3. (yes, it's spelled mfaRetrys with one i — that's genuinely the flag, don't come for me 🙈). only used in the noninteractive modes.
• --mfaTotpOffset=0s — TOTP generation offset, defaults to 0s. only used in noninteractive-totp mode ⏰
• --mfaTotpToken="" — the token used to generate TOTPs. empty by default. only used in noninteractive-totp mode 🔑
• --serverAddress="" — your Passbolt server address, like https://passbolt.example.com. empty by default, so set it before you go anywhere 🦋
• --timeout=1m0s — timeout for the Context. defaults to a whole 1m0s. patience is a virtue but this one's capped 💜
• --userPassword="" — your Passbolt user password. empty by default. be careful with this one, it's literally your password 🌸
• --userPrivateKey="" — your Passbolt user private key. empty by default 🔐
• --userPrivateKeyFile="" — your Passbolt user private key file. if you set this, then the userPrivateKey will be overwritten with the file content. so like, the file wins, periodt 💀

👀 heads up bestie: --userPrivateKeyFile doesn't merge with --userPrivateKey — it straight up overwrites it. and honestly, passing a private key or password straight on the command line is its own vibe check. proceed thoughtfully. 🫶
