What stops things from happening?
Need to remember passwords and share them between people who need to access the
same encrypted data is a nightmare.
What is affected? Any references?
Ansible and other infrastructure management tools that are run by multiple
people.
What could be done?
Learn if it is possible encrypt file with a public SSH key and decrypt with SSH
agent, sum up the results, draft a plan to fix this.

Any alternative workarounds?
SSH agent is already running on most admin systems, so no need to run yet
another one implementation.
