Adds a password to a password candidate list for password extraction. Password candidates are possible passwords that are used to open a password-protected malware object. You can use the same word in both the password candidate list and the keyword candidate list. The same word cannot be used in both the password candidate list and the ignored word candidate list. There are three sources for the password candidates list. They are the email body, the candidates you configured, and data pushed from a secure content update. You can add up to 100 password entries.
Note
You can view the password in UTF-8 characters using the email-analysis pass-extract add password command. You cannot use UTF-8 characters to add passwords using this command. You can use UTF-8 characters to add passwords only in the Settings: Attachment decryption page in the Web UI.
You can configure passwords only in English using this command.
For details about password candidate extraction, refer to the Email Security — Server User Guide.
