`ansible-vault encrypt --vault-password-file /home/ansible/vault_pass new_device_creds.yml`

`touch new_device_creds.yml && ansible-vault encrypt_string --vault-password-file /home/ansible/vault_pass`

`ansible-vault rekey --vault-password-file /home/ansible/vault_pass new_device_creds.yml`

`ansible-vault create --vault-password-file /home/ansible/vault_pass new_device_creds.yml`
