Hi @Jecintha
For check user password you can use this function :
from frappe.utils.password import check_password
check_password(some_user,password_to_check)

But you can’t see the user password on database.

Hi antzforwork

Thanks for reply, I need a password value becoz i’m using my validation . check_password method return password correct or not. so pls tell me need password value

For what i belief you can’t get user password.
@adityahase said it can’t because of these reasons:

Decrypting a user password

@Rabie_Moses_Santilla User passwords are hashed using PBKDF2, not encrypted. You can’t recover the original password from the hashes for comparison, you can only verify if the password provided by the client matches the stored hash. Please refer to check_password and update_password in frappe.utils.password set_encrypted_password, get_decrypted_password are used for storing/retrieving credentials (Password/Secret Key/Access Token etc.) of other services e.g. Email Account, Dropbox, AWS S3 etc…
