Don't supply a password on the command line and doveadm will prompt you to type an invisible password same as linux passwd does. doveadm pw -s [scheme]

Easy mistake to make. The orthographic difference between "plaintext" and "plain text" is small. The semantic difference is large: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plaintext https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plain_text

it's not that convenient to write to a file first.
does it support the format below?
doveadm pw "plain password"
providing the plain password as CL argument to generate a encrypted one.
The argument to "-p" is not a file containing the password, but the password
itself!
so in your example above, the password would be "input.txt", which is pretty
weak :)
Cheers.
PS: man doveadm-pw
