Fwd: Re: Fwd: Generate new password for multiline entries

Thanks for the advice about --in-place. Linuxmint 17.1 still comes with 
pass V1.4.2, so I did not find this option in the man page.

In this case, pass could just echo the old password---that should solve 
this problem, right?

+1 for --in-place being the default option when generating a password 
for an existing multiline entry.
