I am making an api call and using a SOQL query to get some data from one of our accounts in Salesforce. One of the fields i'm retrieving is of type "password", and so when i pull the value down, i can only see all asterisks (it looks like ******).
So, is there a way to read the value of a password type field in an api call instead of just reading it as all asterisks?

Possible Suggestion/Solution #1

Do you have access to the target salesforce org?

Check if the field u pull is of type text(encrypted), you need to have "view encrypted data" permission on the user profile
