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);

Hi there,

This does not work for the password field on sys_user (which is of type Password (1 Way Encrypted)).

This would work on for example the basic_auth_credentials table for the password field (which is of type (Password (2 Way Encrypted)).

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

Kind regards,
