keyctl | adding key safely

Hi.
I want to store a password/key for later automated usage. keyctl is looking promising for that.

Is it save to do it that way?

$ export HISTIGNORE=' *'
$  echo -n key_value | keyctl padd user key_name @u
750806025

Is this method ok when I would like to avoid having the key stored in memory?

Thanks,
_fuz
