context: i have service code in Guix to run multiple nodes, and i'm using the same password for all the nodes. i'd like to add a new one that i mine.

tried to use geth/clef to import the account and change the password, but:

geth account import --password [hash].password [hash].json
Fatal: Failed to load the private key: invalid character 'e' at end of key file

if this gets implemented, then please also add a --password-file option (so that we don't record the passwords in the bash history).

HISTCONTROL=ignoreboth will ignore duplicate lines and all lines beginning with space

meanwhile, does anyone know a tool to change the password of the generated keys?

FTR, the latest release of https://github.com/ethersphere/swarm-cli has a new command for changing the password of a key:

$ swarm-cli utility lock key.json
