====== Tabulify - Passphrase ======



To encrypt and decrypt [[:docs:conf:secret|secret]], [[vault|vault]] uses a ''passphrase''.


This ''passphrase'' is used to generate a cryptographic key for the [[vault|encryption]].


In [[docs:tabul:tabul|Tabul]], the ''passphrase'' can be given with:

  * the ''%%--passphrase%%'' [[docs:tabul:global|global option]].
  * or the ''TABUL_PASSPHRASE'' [[:docs:conf:os|Os environment variable]]
