Description

It would be great if the command line-tool would use the OS X-keychain to save the passphrase and get it from there, so one doesn't have to enter it each time when doing an action on the command line.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by locating the command-line passphrase handling, then determine how OS X Keychain storage and retrieval should fit the existing actions. Done means the tool can securely save and retrieve the passphrase without prompting on every command, with coverage for the relevant behavior.
