     8  # rclone config update
     9  
    10  Update options in an existing remote.
    11  
    12  ## Synopsis
    13  
    14  
    15  Update an existing remote's options. The options should be passed in
    16  in pairs of `key` `value`.
    17  
    18  For example to update the env_auth field of a remote of name myremote
    19  you would do:
    20  
    21      rclone config update myremote swift env_auth true
    22  
    23  If any of the parameters passed is a password field, then rclone will
    24  automatically obscure them if they aren't already obscured before
    25  putting them in the config file.
    26  
    27  **NB** If the password parameter is 22 characters or longer and
    28  consists only of base64 characters then rclone can get confused about
    29  whether the password is already obscured or not and put unobscured
    30  passwords into the config file. If you want to be 100% certain that
    31  the passwords get obscured then use the "--obscure" flag, or if you
    32  are 100% certain you are already passing obscured passwords then use
    33  "--no-obscure".  You can also set osbscured passwords using the
    34  "rclone config password" command.
    35  
    36  If the remote uses OAuth the token will be updated, if you don't
    37  require this add an extra parameter thus:
    38  
    39      rclone config update myremote swift env_auth true config_refresh_token false
    40  
    41  
    42  ```
    43  rclone config update `name` [`key` `value`]+ [flags]
    44  ```
    45  
    46  ## Options
    47  
    48  ```
    49    -h, --help         help for update
    50        --no-obscure   Force any passwords not to be obscured.
    51        --obscure      Force any passwords to be obscured.
    52  ```
    53  
    54  See the [global flags page](/flags/) for global options not listed here.
