Re: Given a profile, can I retrieve its password using an API?

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

There are some brute force methods.  And there are counter measures to
limit these methods.  And then there are things that Pentasafe knows that I
don't because they can sure do some tricky stuff.  And there are some ways
to shoot yourself in the foot so that you can get this information in the
future.

But it all boils down to why would you even want to?  Answer that and I'll
try to help you out.

How do I retrieve the password for a given user ID? Is such thing possible?

Thanks.
