That's on the same page: click the tab "wallet details", enter the encrypted private key, press view details, enter the BIP38 passphrase, and finally click decrypt BIP38.

i guess we'll have to wait until someone implements it into an application as no way is anyone going to type out a case sensitive private key! =)

There are ways of copy-pasting it. On bitaddress, use "hide art" to copy the private key.

<p>I just learned about bip38 as it has to do with bitcoin private key encryption by putting a password to the key on the QR code. My question is which wallet apps support this decryption feature?</p>
