Password not being included in Email Notification

Question

I am trying to include the password for a newly-created user, in the body of an Email Notification being sent out.
But, the password is not being displayed.
As we all know, IDM uses the following variable for "*Password*" :
*<Field name='password.password'/>*
So, I included the password variable in my Email Template, as follows :
*<Variable name='mypassword'>*
*<select>*
*<ref>user.password.password</ref>*
*</select>*
*</Variable>*
But, when the Email is sent, the password is displayed in the email body as follows :
Password = "*Lighthouse_Fake_Password*"
How can I get the password to be displayed in the Email?
Thanks

Hi Michael,
since passwords are stored in encrypted format, you can not directly display them using user.password.password.
You have to first decrypt them. Use below rule by passing account id to it.

<!DOCTYPE Rule PUBLIC 'waveset.dtd' 'waveset.dtd'>
