Option to persist credentials in plain text on init when there is no keyring

[benjiwolff]

I am running backups on a system without a keyring. Whenever I initialize a repository with b2 storage and enabled encryption, I have to enter three different secrets

• b2_id
• b2_key
• password

Then, when I backup, I have to enter those credentials again. For automated backups, I follow the steps for managing passwords in the preferences file (plain text).

However, when setting up many repositories, entering the three secrets a second time is cumbersome and error prone.

I would greatly appreciate an option -store-credentials-in-plain-text (or similar) on the init command, that does the three set -key .. -value .. commands for me.

What type of system are you running it on? I had a similar issue on a Synology, which didn't have typical linux keyring, and I solved it by using keyctl to store the secrets and then using a script to read them and export as environment variables prior to the duplicacy commands being run. Here's some more info on it in case it may be useful.
