✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

rsop change-key-password [--debug] [--no-armor] [--new-key-password]
[--old-key-password] [-h|--help]

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

It updates a key's password. That's the vibe. 💖

The output is literally the same set of OpenPGP Transferable Secret Keys as the input, but with all secret key material locked according to the password indicated by the --new-key-password option — or, with no password at all, if --new-key-password is absent. slay. 🔥

Not me reminding you that --old-key-password can be supplied multiple times: each supplied password will be tried as a means to unlock any locked key material encountered. It will normalize a Transferable Secret Key to use a single password even if it originally had distinct passwords locking each of the subkeys. iconic behavior, ngl. 💅

bestie, warning vibes: if any secret key packet is locked but cannot be unlocked with any of the supplied --old-key-password arguments, this subcommand should fail with KEY_IS_PROTECTED. 😭
