Hey, I am using the raw module to manage several remote hosts that cannot run python. my inventory file looks like this : [devices] device1 ansible\_ssh\_host=127.0.0.1 ansible\_ssh\_port=30002 ansible\_ssh\_user=‘root’ device2 ansible\_ssh\_host=127.0.0.1 ansible\_ssh\_port=30001 ansible\_ssh\_user=‘root’ Now I am running the same playbook on each one of the hosts each one of the hosts has a different password (I know I can add "ansible\_ssh\_password=‘password’ to the inventory but I prefer not to due to security reasons) when I run the playbook with -k I can only insert 1 password, is there a way to manually insert a different password for each hosts using only 1 command? $ansible-playbook -k device1 password: device2 password: thanks! ---

Nope, there’s not. You really should use keys or some sort of centralized identity management. Keys are friends! 🙂 –Michael
