Some rclone commands, such as `genautocomplete`, do not require configuration.
Nevertheless, rclone will read any configuration file found

If an encrypted configuration file is found, this means you will be prompted for
password (unless using `--password-command`). To avoid this, you can bypass
the loading of the configuration file by overriding the location with an empty
string `""` or the special value `/notfound`, or the os null device represented
by value `NUL` on Windows and `/dev/null` on Unix systems (before rclone
version 1.55 only this null device alternative was supported).
E.g. `rclone --config="" genautocomplete bash`.
