- Specify an identifier for the password query:
`systemd-ask-password --id={{identifier}} "{{message}}"`
- Use a kernel keyring key name as a cache for the password:
`systemd-ask-password --keyname={{key_name}} "{{message}}"`
- Set a custom timeout for the password query:
`systemd-ask-password --timeout={{seconds}} "{{message}}"`
- Force the use of an agent system and never ask on current TTY:

`systemd-ask-password --no-output --keyname={{key_name}} "{{message}}"`
