KEY vs password terminology #16

Closed dewyatt closed 4 years ago

dewyatt commented 4 years ago

I think users are familiar with the term "password", but we currently use the term "key" in a similar fashion:

        -k WORD=KEY     Specify a secret KEY for WORD.

I personally find this to be confusing and think "password" is more conventional. We do something similar in the code (see get_key, which actually gets a password). Is there any interest in changing this?

Agree, it’s confusing. Password or Passphrase? Password probably easier to understand.
