Document how to automate Keepassxc with keepassxc-cli more

[tieong]

Hey,

My use case is pretty common I think, I have multiple passwords that I need to retrieve from the database in a non interactive manner for programs like mbsync.

I browsed the official doc and stumbled upon keepassxc-cli which seemed perfect, I have a cli that looks like this in my mbsyncrc:

PassCmd "keepassxc-cli show -sa password "

It works but since I have multiple accounts, I'm getting prompted for the database password multiple times which isn't very practical.

I browsed the github issues to know what my options are:

• echo "database-password" | keepassxc-cli ...
• Use secret-tools to automatically feed the database password to keepassxc-cli
• Use keepassxc client(python, rust...) that leverage the browser integration, so that once you have your database that is open via the GUI, your program can just fetch the password it needs.
• Store the master password in GPG and feed it into keepassxc-cli
  ...

I would love to see these in the official docs, explaining what the trade off are for each approach, recommended approach.. , right now using secret-tools seems to be my best bet?

In my personal use case, I don't mind getting prompted, I just need to figure out how to make mbsync retrieve all the passwords it needs in one go and then make them available to the different account that needs this.

Generally speaking "use cases" are better for blogs and niche user sites. We have pending documentation for secret service itself.
