I have Maven set up for password encryption with a master password, and some time ago I encrypted a password with that and stored it in my settings.xml. The password is successfully in use by Maven plugins.

Now I want to recover that password for use outside Maven (performing an operation manually using a web browser). Is there a command to simply print the decrypted version of a server password?

Use the maven-settings-decoder tool.
