You can encrypt a password in a shell script by using the OpenSSL command line utility. To do so, use the command:
openssl enc –aes–256–cbc –salt –in <input_file> –out <output_file>
This command encrypts the contents of the input file using AES–256 encryption and saves them to the output file.
The generated output file can then be used in your shell script for authentication or other security purposes.
