The headless instructions contain a small security risk. If you were to follow the instructions as written, your password would be stored in plain text in your shell history (e.g. ~/.bash_history). It's much better to get openssl to prompt you for a password - that way it's not stored anywhere.

| WARNING: If you are creating this file on Microsoft Windows you should ensure that you do no add a newline to the end of the file. In Windows, lines end with both the line feed and carriage return ASCII characters, but Unix uses only a line feed and treats the additional carriage return character as part of the password hash. |
