Create a Password

You can create a Password item to store the username, password, and the websites associated with those credentials.

Password items use the password type of the create-secret flow. Use a Password item when storing website or account login credentials that include fields such as username, password, and associated URLs.

Create a Password with the Akeyless CLI

To create a password with the CLI, run the following command:

akeyless create-secret \
--name <Item-Name> \
--type <password> \
--url <Associated-URL> \
--password <Password> \
--username <Username> 

Where:

• name: A unique name of the password. The name can include the path to the virtual folder where you want to create the new password, using the slash / separators. If the folder does not exist, it will be created together with the password.
• type: The type of the item, either static secret or password.
• url: Comma separated list of URLs associated with the password.
• password: Password value.
• username: Username value.

You can find the complete list of parameters for this command with the CLI Reference - Static Secrets section.
