### Operating system

Linux

### Joplin version

3.4.1

### What issue do you have?

I did not find a real answer as to how to specify a master password in the terminal cli. My passwords contain special characters so I tried single and double quotes but the command  
"joplin e2ee -p xxxxx decrypt-file" continues asking for the master password. Entering the password does not seems to work  
I appreciate your help
