Description
Hi I could not find a documentation about how to cache the passphrase for a key generated with oci setup keys command.
The password make the key more secure in case of a virus attack or backup stollen, but it is pratically usuless without a safe in memory cache like ssh-agent do, because is impractical to enter before every command. It also makes tools that use kubectl to authenticate in kubernetes like kontena lens useless.
Is there a way to achieve this behavior?

Research direction
Start by locating the implementation and documentation for the oci setup keys command, then trace how its generated key is used by OCI CLI authentication. Compare the requested behavior with the mentioned kubectl and Kontena Lens workflows; done would require a defined, secure passphrase-caching approach or a documented determination that the behavior is unsupported.
