NAME
       passwd - compute password hashes

SYNOPSIS
       openssl passwd [-crypt] [-1] [-apr1] [-salt string] [-in
       file] [-stdin] [-quiet] [-table] {password}

DESCRIPTION
       The passwd command computes the hash of a password typed
       at run-time or the hash of each password in a list.  The
       password list is taken from the named file for option -in
       file, from stdin for option -stdin, and from the command
       line otherwise.  The Unix standard algorithm crypt and the
       MD5-based BSD password algorithm 1 and its Apache variant
       apr1 are available.

OPTIONS
       -crypt
           Use the crypt algorithm (default).

       -1  Use the MD5 based BSD password algorithm 1.

       -apr1
           Use the apr1 algorithm (Apache variant of the BSD
           algorithm).

       -salt string
           Use the specified salt.

       -in file
           Read passwords from file.

       -stdin
           Read passwords from stdin.

       -quiet
           Don't output warnings when passwords given at the com-
           mand line are truncated.

       -table
           In the output list, prepend the cleartext password and
           a TAB character to each password hash.

EXAMPLES
       openssl passwd -crypt -salt xx password prints xxj31ZMTZ-
       zkVA.

       openssl passwd -1 -salt xxxxxxxx password prints
       $1$xxxxxxxx$8XJIcl6ZXqBMCK0qFevqT1.

       openssl passwd -apr1 -salt xxxxxxxx password prints
       $apr1$xxxxxxxx$dxHfLAsjHkDRmG83UXe8K0.
