You can never get password of a login user. Password always save in encrypted form in user table. No one can access the password. If you try with Glide Record then it will give you only encrypted value, which has no use for you.

For logged in user you can go to left nav -->user administration-->logged in users

Its encrypted so you cant have access to password.

You won't be able to get the password for the user. It's stored in sys_user but, I believe, is a one-way encrypted string. In other words, when a user logs on and verifies the password internally, the password entered is re-encrypted and compared against the encrypted password string. If they match, it's the same password. However, there's no way to get the plain text version of the password within the system.

You shouldn' t ever require the user password. If the user password needs resetting, then type over the password field and save the record (also ticking the change password on login). If the requirement is an integration, set up a common source of authentication such as LDAP. If you need to have an integration log in to the ServiceNow instance, use the Basic authentication token over a user/password string. This is an encoded string that you can get through the REST web services explorer.
