Nice, love that you're running it (or trying to run it?) locally

Only partially related to this change, but we should avoid assuming configuration files will be co-located to the binary. Instead of defaulting to a relative directory (e.g. ./secrets/), we should really be defaulting to something like XDG_CONFIG_HOME which is usually only writable to a specific user. For linux systems which have adopted KDE, GNOME, or systemd, these values will be well-defined for users and services. https://specifications.freedesktop.org/basedir-spec/basedir-spec-latest.html. The other benefit is that the file location will also not be dependent from where you run the application. (e.g. cargo run vs cargo build && cd target/debug && ./identity vs cargo install && identity)
