Describe feature

Creating/storing a file with secrets might defeat the purpose of trying to "protect" such secrets.

If using e.g. a password manager (KeePassXC) exposes a cli, it would be much more transparent to keepassxc ... | act --secrets-file - without exposing secrets, nor interactively providing them all the time.
