 * Hi. I have somewhat of an extranet set up for a client, and the client has a 
   list of user in the admin. The client wants to be able to see the user passwords
   in the administrative area. I have started to try and figure out how to do this
   by putting the following in one of my templates:
 *     ```
       <?php $password = ( $userdata->user_pass ); ?>
                       Password: <? echo $password ; ?>
                       Username: <? echo $userdata->user_login ; ?>
                       <? } ?>
       ```
   
 * However, this outputs the encrypted version of the password. I have done some
   research on this, and pretty much have come up with the answer that “That’s just
   the way WordPress works.” So I am just hoping someone has had a similar issue
   or could offer a solution. The main goal here is to be able to allow the client
   to see the user’s passwords in the admin area, so they don’t have to keep some
   kind of excel file with the passwords.
