Both keysmith and dfx support password-protected PEM files.

Research direction

The issue mentions keysmith, dfx, and quill but names no files or tests. First inspect quill's existing PEM and key-loading entry points, then compare their behavior with password-protected inputs. Done means quill can use a password-protected PEM file and the behavior is covered by tests.
