Mono.Unix.UnixUserInfo.Password Property

Gets the user's password.

public string Password { get; }

See Also

Mono.Unix.Native.Passwd.pw_passwd

Value

A string containing the user's password.

Remarks

In years past, this used to contain the user's password. This was later found to be a security problem, as it made it easier to crack the passwords of other users.

Currently, the actual user password is not stored in the password database, so this property is of little actual use.
