* influx CLI 2.0.0+
* InfluxDB OSS only

#### Works with InfluxDB OSS 2.x

The `influx user password` command updates passwords for **InfluxDB OSS 2.x** users,  
but does not update passwords for **InfluxDB Cloud** accounts.  
To change your InfluxDB Cloud account password, see  
[Change your password](/influxdb/cloud/account-management/change-password/).

The `influx user` command and its subcommands manage user information in InfluxDB.

## Usage

influx user [flags]
influx user [command]
