Support storing and retrieving the API key in a secure manner #2

Description

@luckman212

Currently, the API key is stored in the config file. The only way to "protect" it is to use file permissions, full disk encryption etc. But most people will not do that, so I think other methods should be offered.

Options:

  • Store the key encrypted & prompt for a decryption password (Py cryptography module, gpg etc)
  • Pull from Password Manager e.g. 1Password, Bitwarden
  • Store in Keychain (macOS only)

Open to other ideas...
