Secret Key Keyring

n34 config keyring command

Usage:

Manages the secret key keyring, including enabling, disabling, or resetting it.

Usage: n34 config keyring <--enable|--disable|--reset>

Options:
      --enable   Enables the secret key keyring. You will be prompted for your key one last time to store it.
      --disable  Disables the secret key keyring. This removes the stored key and prevents new ones from being saved.
      --reset    Resets the keyring. This deletes the current key, allowing a new one to be stored on the next use.

To avoid entering your private key for every command, you can enable the keyring to store it securely. First, run n34 config keyring --enable. The next time you run an n34 command that requires your private key, it will be saved to your system's keyring. You will not need to enter it again for subsequent commands.

To replace the stored key with a new one, use the --reset flag. To stop using the keyring and remove the stored key, use the --disable flag.

n34 uses your operating system's native secret management system. For example, it uses keyutils on Linux and Keychain on macOS.
