## FAQ

### How can I generate a password if I have a quote (`'`) in my master password ?

Escape the quote like this :

    lesspass lesspass.com contact@lesspass.com 'my parents'\'' house is great'

Replace `'` by `'\''`

### password prompt 

If you omit master password, lesspass-cli will ask you a master password:

    lesspass lesspass.com contact@lesspass.com --length=14
    master password:
