# userpasswd(1)

A graphical tool to allow users to change their passwords.

## NAME

userpasswd - A graphical tool to allow users to change their passwords.

## SYNOPSIS

**userpasswd** \[ *options* \]

## DESCRIPTION

**userpasswd** is a graphical tool to allow users to easily change their passwords. Aside from being a nice GUI frontend, this program does the right thing when the pam configuration has changed.

## OPTIONS

This program has no command line options of its own, but it does take the standard X program options like **-display** and such.  See the  *X*(1) man page for some of the common options.

## SEE ALSO

[*userhelper*(8)](/userhelper/8.md)

## BUGS

No known bugs, but compatibility with bizarre changes in the pam configuration have not been tested aggressively.  If you have a non-standard pam configuration, I'd be interested to hear whether it worked and what kind of configuration you have.
