Manage your application's keys

Synopsis ​

Keyring management commands. These keys may be in any format supported by the Tendermint crypto library and can be used by light-clients, full nodes, or any other application that needs to sign with a private key.

The keyring supports the following backends:

os          Uses the operating system's default credentials store.
file        Uses encrypted file-based keystore within the app's configuration directory.
            This keyring will request a password each time it is accessed, which may occur
            multiple times in a single command resulting in repeated password prompts.
kwallet     Uses KDE Wallet Manager as a credentials management application.
pass        Uses the pass command line utility to store and retrieve keys.
test        Stores keys insecurely to disk. It does not prompt for a password to be unlocked
            and it should be use only for testing purposes.

kwallet and pass backends depend on external tools. Refer to their respective documentation for more information: KWallet https://github.com/KDE/kwallet pass https://www.passwordstore.org/

The pass backend requires GnuPG: https://gnupg.org/
