 On OSX and Linux there are a few keyring providers that `go-jira` can use (via this [golang module](https://github.com/tmc/keyring)).  To integrate `go-jira` with a supported keyring just add this configuration to `$HOME/.jira.d/config.yml`:

+When `password-source` is set to `stdin`, the `jira login` command will read from stdin until EOF, and the bytes read will be the used as the password.

+```bash
+$ ./password-generator | jira login --endpoint=https://my.jira.endpoint.com --user=USERNAME
