On Ubuntu 20.04 (WSL) I wanted to provide an arbitrary, non-empty Stripe API key and [following this answer by Art](https://collab.codidact.org/posts/285410/285468#answer-285468) edit the credentials accordingly.
```
export EDITOR=vim
bin/rails credentials:edit
```
However, that gave an `OpenSSL::Cipher::CipherError`
```
