# auth

> Self-service account management from the CLI — change your own password.

# crewship auth

Self-service account commands. Login, logout, and whoami stay top-level
(`crewship login` / `logout` / `whoami`); `auth` hosts the newer account
mutations.

```bash theme={null}
crewship auth <subcommand>
```

**Auth:** requires `crewship login`.

## Subcommands

| Command       | Purpose                           |
| ------------- | --------------------------------- |
| `auth passwd` | Change your own account password. |

## `auth passwd`

Change your password. Interactively it prompts (no echo) for the current
password, then the new password twice. The new password must be at least
8 characters.

Passwords are **never** passed as flags — that would leak them into shell
history and process listings. For scripting, pipe two lines on stdin: the
current password first, the new password second.

Changing your password **signs out your other active sessions** — the
session you run this from stays logged in. It calls
[`POST /api/v1/users/me/password`](/api-reference/auth#post-api-v1-users-me-password).

```bash theme={null}
# Interactive (recommended) — prompts for current + new, no echo:
crewship auth passwd

# Non-interactive (CI/scripts) — current on line 1, new on line 2:
printf '%s\n%s\n' "$OLD_PW" "$NEW_PW" | crewship auth passwd
```

<Note>
  Editing your display name is available in the web UI (Settings → Profile),
  backed by [`PATCH /api/v1/users/me`](/api-reference/auth#patch-api-v1-users-me).
  A CLI verb for it may follow.
