I'm trying to use a password on the command line instead of keeping it on a text file using geth:
geth --password mYp@ssw0rd account new
but the above throws:
Fatal: Failed to read password file: open mYp@ssw0rd: no such file or directory
Which makes sense since --password expects a "Password file to use for non-inteactive password input".
Is there any way to provide the password directly on the command line using geth?
Something like:
geth --password mYp@ssw0rd account new
I've seen an article on go-ethereum wiki using:
geth --password <(echo -n mYp@ssw0rd) account new
But this throws another error on CentOS:
-sh: syntax error near unexpected token `('
