influx user password
Works with InfluxDB OSS 2.x
The influx user command and its subcommands manage InfluxDB OSS 2.x users,
but do not manage users in InfluxDB Cloud.
Use the InfluxDB Cloud UI to manage account information.
The influx user password command updates the password for a user in InfluxDB.
Usage
influx user password [flags]

Examples
Authentication credentials
The examples below assume your InfluxDB host, organization, and token are
provided by either the active influx CLI configuration or by environment variables (INFLUX_HOST, INFLUX_ORG, and INFLUX_TOKEN).
If you do not have a CLI configuration set up or the environment variables set, include these required credentials for each command with the following flags:
--host: InfluxDB host-o, --orgor--org-id: InfluxDB organization name or ID-t, --token: InfluxDB API token
Update a user password using a username
influx user password --name example-username
# Prompts for password
Update a user password using a user ID
influx user password --id 0Xx0oox00XXoxxoo1
# Prompts for password
