Hi Team ,

The code was working fine with 7.0 instance , But in 7.3 when we reading user.getPasswordUnencrypted() its returning null . can you assist me , what are the changes we require to read user data 

Thanks & Regards ,

you can generally never rely on the unencrypted password being present or known to the system anyway - e.g. if you're utilizing SSO, Liferay will never see the password in order to keep track of it anyway.

That being said, if you're not utilizing SSO, there's a portal.properties entry session.store.password.

I don't recommend using it, and doing so will open up an attack vector on your users.
