As root you can view the /etc/shadow file

Code:

cat /etc/shadow

Code:

user:$6$oxEwBmSJ$T6MiuRCg4QG4SSfNyukOnKqgm9nMRl10KbJCE/9UgDwB8na8n3b1tlYUmLo1kKC71p1jZX3ZliL/TJR2JMJC1.:16729:0:99999:7:::
mysql:!:16749:0:99999:7:::

I the example above the user user have a password but not mysql

Reminder:
User with no password are not allowed to login by default.
Neither via the GUI or via the terminal.

If we talk about HTTPS web server with Active Directory authentication password retrieval i restricted. Before creating new account user has must be aware of ‘master password’ that used to encrypt all the managed passwords stored in mySQL database. A set of encrypted passwords easily modified by the user with a master password with secure access to all the passwords on hold. This system is self-monitored and self-managed. Adequate GUI is crucial for any server management control panel (cPanel/Plesk/ServerSuit/Webmin )
