User account password decrypt

[Jasleen Kaur3]

Is there a way by which we can decrypt the password field to extract the password in string format?

Hello @Jasleen Kaur3 

This can be achieved with GlideEncrypter method. (This will not work in Scoped application though).

var Encrypter = new GlideEncrypter();  

var encrypted =current.field_name;var

var decrypted = Encrypter.decrypt(encrypted);  

gs.addInfoMessage("decrypted.. " + decrypted);

Hi there,

Please define which password fields. Some in ServiceNow, yes possible 🙂 Though for example password field on sys_user... no not possible.
