SYNOPSIS

       secret-tool store --label='Label' {attribute} {value} ...

DESCRIPTION

       secret-tool is a command line tool that can be used to store and retrieve passwords.

       Each password is stored in an item. Items are uniquely identified by a set of attribute
       keys and values. When storing a password you must specify unique pairs of attributes names
       and values, and when looking up a password you provide the same attribute name and value
       pairs.

STORE

       To store a password run secret-tool with the store argument. You must also specify a label
       for the passward with the --label argument. This label will be displayed in the password
       manager.

       Make sure to pass a unique set of attributes names and values when storing a password. If
       the attributes match an already existing item, it will be updated instead of creating a
       new item.

       If invoked from a terminal or tty, then the password to store will be prompted for and
       only one line will be accepted.

       A password to store can also be piped in via stdin. The password will be the contents of
       stdin until EOF. If you provide a newline via stdin it will be stored as part of the
       password.

LOOKUP

       To lookup a password run secret-tool with the lookup argument. Specify the same same
       attribute names and value pairs that you passed when storing the password.

       If multiple items match the attribute provided, then the first password that is already
       unlocked will be returned. If necessary an item will be unlocked.

       When printing the password to a terminal or tty, an extra newline will be added after the
       password.

CLEAR

       To remove a password run secret-tool with the clear argument. Specify the same attirbute
       name and value pairs that you passed when storing the password.

       All unlocked items that match the attributes will be removed.

SEARCH

       This command searches for and prints details on matching items in secret service. Specify
       the same attribute and value pairs that you passed in when storing the password. You can
       use the following options:

       --all
           Return all matching results, rather than just the one of the matches. Without this
           option, the first unlocked match returned from the service will be printed.

       --unlock
           Unlock items that are locked and then print out their details. Without this option,
           locked items are skipped.

EXIT STATUS

       On success 0 is returned, a non-zero failure code otherwise.
