What is -secure ?

Question

I am new to irules and tcl . i was given an irule to study where there is this line &nbsp;
set password [ACCESS::session data mcget -secure "session.logon.last.password"]&nbsp;
i get that we are storing password from session.logon.last.password into password value from cache memory(mcget) .&nbsp;
what is -secure and where i can read more about this ?&nbsp;

Hi,&nbsp;
For security reason, password is stored encrypted in memory.&nbsp;
If you use the mcget command without secure option, the command will return the encrypted value.&nbsp;
The secure option will decrypt the encrypted password and return the password as entered by the user.&nbsp;
