# `insert` command
|
||
|
||
The `insert` command is used to manually set (insert, or change) a password in the store. It applies to either new or existing secrets.
|
||
|
||
## Synopsis
|
||
|
||
```
|
||
$ gopass insert entry
|
||
$ gopass insert entry key
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
## Modes of operation
|
||
|
||
* Create a new entry with a user-supplied password, e.g. a new site with a user-generated password or one picked from `gopass pwgen`: `gopass insert entry`
|
||
* Change an existing entry to a user-supplied password
|
||
* Create and change any field of a new or existing secret: `gopass insert entry key`
|
||
* Read data from STDIN and insert (or append) to a secret
|
||
|
||
Insert is similar in effect to `gopass edit` with the advantage of not displaying any content of the secret when changing a key.
|
||
|
||
Note: `insert` will not change anything but the `Password` field (using the `insert entry` invocation) or the specified key (using the `insert entry key` invocation).
|
||
|
||
## Flags
|
||
|
||
Flag | Aliases | Description
|
||
---- | ------- | -----------
|
||
`--echo` | `-e` | Display the secret while typing (default: `false`)
|
||
`--multiline` | `-m` | Insert using `$EDITOR` (default: `false`). This identical to running `gopass edit entry`. All other flags are ignored.
|
||
`--force` | `-f` | Overwrite any existing value and do not prompt. (default: `false`)
|
||
`--append` | `-a` | Append to any existing data. Only applies if reading from STDIN. (default: `false`)
