Jira's APIs are not designed to be able to provide you with an account's password.  Check out @Andy Brook [Plugin People] 's response on a related thread: https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Answers-Developer-Questions/How-to-get-the-logged-in-user-s-password-for-integration-purpose/qaq-p/479853

No there isnt. Passwords are one-way hashed, it would be pretty poor if it were exposed...

some background on hashing is:
