When using the CLI, it prints unecessary info like Insert password to lock ....
Sure, that's very nice of you. But then again, automated scripts have to somehow filter out that output.
How about you either remove it, or print it to STDERR (so you can pipe that to /dev/null)?

An alternative which would keep the useful messages would be to add a --quiet flag for scripting use which suppresses these kinds of outputs

Write CLI password prompt to stderr
1dce5b0 
Writing the prompt to stderr greatly helps with the use of keepassxc-cli
in automated scripts or as a password provider for programs like mutt or
borg.

This is done in accordance with POSIX that specifies that diagnostic
messages be sent to stderr.

This commit should be a first step in solving the following
issues: keepassxreboot#831, keepassxreboot#1221
