# NAME

`login_chpass` — change password authentication type

# SYNOPSIS

`login_chpass` | [`-s` service] user [class]

# DESCRIPTION

The `login_chpass` utility is typically called from login(1). It is functionally the same as calling the program: “passwd user”. This will use the login_lchpass(8) utility to change the user's local password.

Only the `login` service is supported. See login.conf(5). The class argument is not used.

# SEE ALSO
