Commands allowing to pass a pubkey via the authentication and the usual CLI (`balance`, and `history` later (#478)) are prioritizing the authentication methods over the pubkey. @matograine suggested to prioritize the passed argument over the authentication method or return an error. So you could always have the `--account <account_name>` set, and pass the arguments for which you would like to get info. If no argument is passed, then information would come from the authentication. If none of them is specified, you get an error.
