CONFIGURATION
If you have a ".pause" file in your home directory, it will be checked for a username and password. It should look like this:

  user EXAMPLE
  password your-secret-password

You can GnuPG-encrypt this file if you wish, but you must install Config::Identity and configure your gpg-agent as Config::Identity currently doesn't prompt for a password at decryption time:

    # Follow the prompts, setting your key as the "recipient"
    # Use ^D once you've finished typing out your authentication information
    gpg -ea > $HOME/.pause
    # OR, encrypt a file you already created:
    gpg -ea $HOME/.pause && mv $HOME/.pause{.asc,}
