Subject of the issue

vaultwarden hash currently ask interactively for the password and there is no option to be silent. In my packaging environment there is a way to interactively ask the admin for a password at the right time of the installation. And I would like use this input to generate the argon2 hash and automatically place it in the right place of the config file.

Suggestion: I'd like to pass in the password via STDIN and get only the hash out via STDOUT. (Although prefixed with ADMIN_TOKEN= is also fine, to make life easier for you)

Deployment environment

vaultwarden version: 1.28.1

Install method: debian-packaging (built from source)
