[Systemd homed] How change password

Hello.

I installed systemd homed on Arch Linux.

It works perfectly, and my data is fully encrypted, which is great for a laptop.

However, I haven't been able to find the command to change my password.
Does anyone know this command?

Thank you.

homectl passwd username

replace "username" with your actual username.

Thank you very much.

I already tried this command on my account, but it didn't work.

I'll try it again from a different account.
