Mise + fnox + macOS Keychain is a great combo for running Ansible with stored, encrypted secrets.

In mise.toml:

[env]
DBSERVER_PW = { value = "{{ exec(command='fnox get DBSERVER') }}", tools = true, redact = true }

In Ansible’s host vars:

my_servers:
  hosts:
    dbserver:
      ansible_become_password: "{{ lookup('ansible.builtin.env', 'DBSERVER_PW') }}"

Now you can run ansible-playbook and friends without hardcoding your sudo passwords anywhere!
