a standard way for batch-creation of passwords/notes?

[bogorad]

I needed to batch-create a couple of keys, so I found a hacky way to do it (spawn a fake "editor" that echos some stuff into the file provided as argument, use it as EDITOR=, then immediately delete it), but - maybe - there should be a less hacky way? :)

Yep I need to migrate a ton of passwords and an option to disable the editor and just use whatever is on stdin would be very appreciated.

you can use my hack for now:

    # Store private key in Bitwarden
    echo "Storing private key in Bitwarden..."
    # cleanup fake editor
    rm -rf /tmp/fake-editor.sh
    # create fake-editor.sh
    cat <<EOL > /tmp/fake-editor.sh
#!/usr/bin/env bash
echo "no-password" >\$1
cat $key_dir/key_file >>\$1
EOL
    # make it executable
    chmod +x /tmp/fake-editor.sh
    # now run rbw that will call our fake-editor
    EDITOR=/tmp/fake-editor.sh rbw add "$key_name" ||
    die "Failed to store key in Bitwarden"
.....

yeah, overriding EDITOR should work fine currently, but i'd be open to a pr adding a flag to accept the password to set on stdin.
