You can use "_getPassword". It's a method of the "User" object.

As the leading "_" indicates, this method can only by used from
file system based code ("External Method", "Python Product").

You use the method "getUser" (of a "UserFolder") to get the user object
given its name. This method requires the "Manage users" permission.
