Looks like you want the -- to separate options from non-option arguments,
where the only non-option argument is "-password". What threw me for a
few moments was that "-salt username" is a single option with argument.
I wasn't expecting "username" to be the salt. It looked like a non-option
argument at first.

Uh, yes, of course. And that would be best even if your answer was not wrong. -- Nicolas George

Wrong answer: this gives the encrypted string for “\-password”, not for
“-password”.
~ $ openssl passwd -6 -salt username \\-password
$6$username$7Vzj6uFI0bs770qb.tIdqyMDbBWCoF93TKbZ7GSmU0ktiCcMu5rxgjpumDUram2ulYhVlWycvUMf1jGKbu8sC1

You're going to rag on him for not copy-pasting EXACTLY when you could have just told him the standard way to get a leading hyphen accepted on the command line is to backslash escape it!?? rude

No it is not. Start by copy-pasting EXACTLY what is in your terminal. Also, do not be root when you do not need to. Regards, -- Nicolas George
