Description

About Spring Boot CLI 3.1.4 when is executed the ./spring --help encodepassword command appears:

./spring --help encodepassword
spring encodepassword - Encode a password for use with Spring Security

usage: spring encodepassword [options] <password to encode>

Option                    Description                            
------                    -----------                            
-a, --algorithm <String>  The algorithm to use (default: default)

examples:

    To encode a password with the default encoder:
        $ spring encodepassword mypassword

    To encode a password with pbkdf2:
        $ spring encodepassword -a pbkdf2 mypassword

Two things to consider:

  • About default: default is really BCrypt (I think it should be updated)
  • Should be listed all the possible valid values for -a/--algorithm

The improvements of both should be applied for the command's output and Reference documentation.

Thanks for your understanding
