I've seen PO asking for that functionality. It was explained with "If they have some problems we need to be able to log into thwir accounts to check it." :D (yeah, you can program functionality like "admin-relog-to-useracc" or just make second field called "admin-password" that admin can set (it will expire shortly) to temporarly login on that acc)

@mcraz That plaintext field might have been added later

First was encrypted and used for authentication. Second was plaintext password and was shown in the admin panel.
Hope to meet this god someday, I'd sure ask why the hell did he use encrypted password for authentication anyway. 😂
