The options 16 should be passed in pairs of `key` `value`. 17 18 For example to make a swift remote of name myremote using auto config 19 you would do: 20 21 rclone config create myremote swift env_auth true 22 23 Note that if the config process would normally ask a question the 24 default is taken. Each time that happens rclone will print a message 25 saying how to affect the value taken. 26 27 If any of the parameters passed is a password field, then rclone will 28 automatically obscure them if they aren't already obscured before 29 putting them in the config file. 30 31 **NB** If the password parameter is 22 characters or longer and 32 consists only of base64 characters then rclone can get confused about 33 whether the password is already obscured or not and put unobscured 34 passwords into the config file. If you want to be 100% certain that 35 the passwords get obscured then use the "--obscure" flag, or if you 36 are 100% certain you are already passing obscured passwords then use 37 "--no-obscure". You can also set osbscured passwords using the 38 "rclone config password" command. 39 40 So for example if you wanted to configure a Google Drive remote but 41 using remote authorization you would do this: 42 43 rclone config create mydrive drive config_is_local false 44 45 46 ``` 47 rclone config create `name` `type` [`key` `value`]* [flags] 48 ``` 49 50 ## Options 51 52 ``` 53 -h, --help help for create 54 --no-obscure Force any passwords not to be obscured. 55 --obscure Force any passwords to be obscured. 56 ``` 57 58 See the [global flags page](/flags/) for global options not listed here. 59 60 ## SEE ALSO 61 62 * [rclone config](/commands/rclone_config/) - Enter an interactive configuration session. 63
