Getting user password from Active Directory

[Diego F.]

Is it possible to get user password from active directory? I want to
authenticate a user with Active Directory. I can get the name or email, but
I don't know if I can get the password.

No, the password is stored in a hashed state and cannot be retrieved.

Do u want to retrieve the password or you want to validate against
Active Directory?

It was enough with AD validation. Thank you.
