    @sakuraime You are right, when this command is used without the --append parameter, it generates a new application password and overwrites the existing one.

    There is no out of the box CLI command to update the new password in a Keyvault secret.
    You will have to update it using az keyvault secret set command.

    Please let us know if you have any questions.
