Clarify how to sync vault between two clients #56

Description

@chrisswanda

I had my work and personal computers sharing the vault for almost a year, so that I could keep keys and secrets in sync between the two. I received a new work machine yesterday, and would like to set it up to sync with my personal machine again. For some reason I cannot figure out how I got these two to sync in the past and have yet to figure it out again.

Two things...

1 - What commands in the CLI, precisely, do I need to do to sync these two machines? Or in the App, what does an end user do with the vault auth phrase after it is generated?

2 - Can the docs for the app and/or help context in the CLI (keys vault -h) be updated to be easier to understand for others on how to create a vault auth phrase and what to do afterwards? After generating the auth phrase, there should be some dialog that says "put auth phrase on the remote client...."
