How to decrypt user password ?

[Mahesh23]

Hello Community,

How to decrypt the user password using script ?

I am trying below script but its not working

var gr = new GlideRecord('sys_user');
gr.get(gs.getUserID())
var Encrypter = new GlideEncrypter(); 
var decrypted = Encrypter.decrypt(gr.user_password);  
gs.print(decrypted);

Also see:

"Password (1 Way Encrypted)

Text field that stores passwords with one-way encryption. One-way encryption stores the password as a secure hash value that cannot be decrypted."

If my answer helped you in any way, please then mark it as helpful.

Kind regards,
Mark

As Mark rightly said it cannot & reason is detailed in thread.

var Encrypter = new GlideEncrypter();  

var encrypted = current.u_password; // current.<<your field name>>  

var decrypted = Encrypter.decrypt(encrypted);  

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

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

Sample script

That's incorrect. Read the responses.

Kind regards,

var gr = new GlideRecord('<table which holds the password field>');
gr.get('<sys_id of the record which has the passoword field>');

var Encrypter = new GlideEncrypter();

var encrypted = gr.<Name of the password field>; 

var decrypted = Encrypter.decrypt(encrypted);

gs.print("encrypted.. " + encrypted);

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