environment variable to contain your password, in which case it will be
used for decrypting the configuration.
You can set this for a session from a script. For unix like systems
save this to a file called `set-rclone-password`:
```
#!/bin/echo Source this file don't run it
read -s RCLONE_CONFIG_PASS
export RCLONE_CONFIG_PASS
```
Then source the file when you want to use it. From the shell you
would do `source set-rclone-password`. It will then ask you for the
password and set it in the envonment variable.
If you are running rclone inside a script, you might want to disable
password prompts. To do that, pass the parameter
`--ask-password=false` to rclone. This will make rclone fail instead
