Hi.  
I’m trying to implement an integration of Keycloak with the external users storage.  
The problem is that when I retrieve a user I need his password.

```auto
public UserModel getUserByUsername(String username, RealmModel realm) {
....
}

```

Is there any way to get it in getUserByUsername method?
