Option Description Required
--user If specified, only checks the given user Optional
--delete To prevent accidents, you must provide this flag to delete passwords Optional
--prefix Instead of deleting, make passwords invalid by prefixing with :null:. Make sure PasswordConfig has a 'null' entry. This is meant for testing before deletion. Optional

Although the 'delete', 'prefix', and 'unprefix' options are not required, one of them must be used.
