Description

[See MDEPLOY-130 which was closed as being an issue in Maven core]

If passwords have been encrypted, deploy fails to notice if the password decryption failed.

Furthermore, it carries on trying to login even after a login failure.
This is true even if the decryption succeeded but the password was incorrect or no encryption was used and the password is incorrect.

This is bad as it can result in lockout due to the multiple failed logins - deploy needs to login several times - and may cause unnecessary work for system admins.
