Re: The master password
I believe if you regenerated another settings-security.xml file with the same master password, while the hash would be different it would effectively decrypt the passwords. However, you make a good point - automatically generating it would be a nice additional feature. - Brett On 04/01/2011, at 7:40 PM, Anders Hammar wrote: > Is there any reason why I would need to remember my master password (used > for encrypting my server passwords in settings.xml)?

The master password
Is there any reason why I would need to remember my master password (used for encrypting my server passwords in settings.xml)? I haven't found any and I'm thinking that it could be auto-generated (by some tool) when creating settings-security.xml, instead of specified by the user. /Anders
