## Steps

Steps need to be validated and performed seperately and work independently of each other.
To avoid problems where the program is shut down mid-transition.

### Stages

#### Initial State

Validation:

- Detect change requested: new password file environment is set

Steps to perform:

- Add new password
- `restic -r <repo> --new-password-file <file> key passwd`

#### New password has been added

Validation:

- List of passwords has 2 entries
- The password with the newer timestamp is not set as "current"

Steps to perform:

- Extract id of new password
- Extract id of old password
- Remove old password in favour of new one
- `restic -r <repo> key remove --key-hint <new-id> <old-id>`
- Unset new password file environment
