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?

See: What is the current state of BIP 38 (encrypted paper wallet) integration with cell phone wallets? – Jonathan Cross Mar 29 '14 at 18:47
The paper wallet generator from Bitaddress lets you encrypt with BIP38.

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. – Steven Dec 30 '13 at 22:14

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! =) – Patoshi パトシ Dec 31 '13 at 0:44

There are ways of copy-pasting it. On bitaddress, use "hide art" to copy the private key. – Steven Jan 5 '14 at 0:40
Bip38 QR password protection can be read by block chain.info wallets and on android it can be read by the mycellium wallet app. It will pop up a enter your password dialog box once you scan it.
