[jira] [Comment Edited] (MNG-4099) Password encryption CLI switches
should prompt for password if missing

Can you add stronger hint on this in http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-encryption.html?
Currently it just says: Since Maven 3.2.1 the password is an optional argument.
This should be strong recommendation like: Since Maven 3.2.1 the password should no longer be provided as argument to prevent issues with the bash history and the decoding of special characters.
At least in the tips section this should be explicitly mention, but preferably also in the How-Tos it should be clarified.
