Mantoo (original poster), if you tell us what you are trying to achieve, there might be a better way to do it that does not need the user’s password.

That's quite a security issue and generally not recommended. As a compromise, if it's required as part of a job, could use the "Password Parameter" option and have the user re-enter it.
