temporary cache password option on the command line

[Daniel Groß]

Hello,
I have 3 volumes with the same password. By specifying "temporary cache password when mounting multiple favorites" I have to type the password just once when I mount the 3 volumes using the GUI.

Now I'm trying to mount these volumes using the command line:

veracrypt" /q /v C:\V1 /l S /c f
veracrypt" /q /v G:\V2 /l T /c f
veracrypt" /q /v D:\V3 /l U /c f

I expected to be asked for the password just once when specifying /c f. But that doesn't work, I'm asked for the same PW 3 times. Any idea what is wrong here...?

Thanks...

a. Not sure why you have a " in your command line.

b. Have you tired /c p instead of /c f with the first command, shouldn't need it with second and third.

Thanks for the quick answer, it works! (the " is a remainder from the full installation path that I specified in my original script. I failed to delete it before posting, sorry).

I think when using /c p instead of /c f I will have to clear the password cache afterwards for safety...

Thank you ...

Yes, just use /w with the third command.

Thank you very much...

If you have saved those three volumes (only) as 'Favorite Volumes', mounting to the specified drive letters, there's an easier command line to achieve your objective:

veracrypt /a favorites /q /c f

Thanks, but I wanted to remove these volumes from my 'Favorite Volumes'-List because I don't need them every day and don't want to mount them each time I 'Mount favorite Volumes', but on the other side still have an option for an easy mounting...
