  -u, --user <username>               Username for auth on the LessPass server [env: LESSPASS_USER=]
  -p, --password <password>           Password for auth on the LessPass server [env: LESSPASS_PASS=]

  -V, --version                       Print version information

EXAMPLES:
  Get the password list specifying the server and without token cached:
    lesspass-client -s http://localhost:8000 -u user@sample.com -p passwd password list

  Show a password:
    lesspass-client password show sample.site.com

  Add a new password:
    lesspass-client password add sample.site.com user@site.com

  Update a existing password (you need the ID from password show command):
    lesspass-client password update eed5950b-97f2-4ba9-bf09-7784b6c7e5a2 new.url.com new@email.com

In first time use you need to pass username and password to perform login. After first run, lesspass-client stores the login token in your XDG_CACHE_HOME directory and you can run commands without the need to pass username and password again.

To pass configuration values you can use the CLI options or following environment variables.

Variable	Used for
LESSPASS_HOST	URL of API server (deafult https://api.lesspass.com)
LESSPASS_USER	Username (ex. user@example.com)
LESSPASS_PASS	Password
LESSPASS_MASTERPASS	Master password (only needed to print site passwords)

Every command an subcommand has its own help, simply pass -h or --help to see it.
