Unlock Options

You can use the --passwordenv <passwordenv> or --passwordfile <passwordfile> options with bsafe unlock to retrieve your master password rather than enter it manually. For example:

To look for an environment variable BSAFE_PASSWORD:

bsafe unlock --passwordenv BSAFE_PASSWORD

If BSAFE_PASSWORD is non-empty and has correct values, the CLI will successfully unlock and return a session key.

To look for the file ~Users/Me/Documents/mp.txt, which must have your master password as the first line:

bsafe unlock --passwordfile ~/Users/Me/Documents/mp.txt

If the file is non-empty and has a correct value, the CLI will successfully unlock and return a session key.
