=== Description
This subcommand updates the password alias IDs in the named target. An
alias is a token of the form `${ALIAS=password-alias-password}`. The
password corresponding to the alias name is stored in an encrypted form.
The `update-password-alias` subcommand takes both a secure interactive
form (in which the user is prompted for all information) and a more
script-friendly form, in which the password is propagated on the command line.
This subcommand is supported in remote mode only.
