Hello, a hand with this when I obtain the username the credentials are always null, it is possible to obtain the password through the user

```auto
public Usuario getUsuario(String username) {
		RealmResource realmResource = keycloak.realm(this.keyCloackPropierties.getRealm());
		UserRepresentation user =realmResource.users().search(username,true).get(0); 
		log.info("user {}->",jsonutil.toJson(user));//ok
		log.info("credentials {}->",user.getCredentials() );//:( is null!!!
		return this.keyCloackMap.map(user);
	}

```

log

No. You cannot retrieve a password for a user.
