[Rob Stryker (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-21716?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13166360#comment-13166360 ] 

Rob Stryker commented on JBIDE-21716:
-------------------------------------

It seems terribly insecure to me to be passing a password in via an environment variable, and I think it's better to let the user type the password again. It's two different programs, and as long as the username is properly moved over, I think it's perfectly reasonable that the user type the password a second time. I agree that if it can be done in a secure manner, passing the password as well is a reasonable solution... but if there's no reasonably secure solution, I think it's best to let the user type the password again.

> Having installed JBDS and CDK from the installer, and entered your password there, you get re-prompted for your password for the customer portal. This is a poor user experience.
