Adding Your First Credential

Add a Credential Interactively

Section titled “Add a Credential Interactively”

To add your first credential, run:

Terminal window
kosh add

You’ll be prompted for:

  • Label (example: github)
  • Username
  • Password (hidden input)
  • Confirm Password (hidden input)

Updating an Existing Entry

Section titled “Updating an Existing Entry”

To update individual fields (label, username, or password) of a saved credential, use the update command with its ID:

Terminal window
kosh update <id>

The ID is visible in kosh list. You’ll be prompted to choose which field to update and to confirm the change.

Alternatively, if you want to replace the password for an entry you know the label and username for, you can run kosh add again with the same label and username — Kosh will securely overwrite the existing entry.
