Passwords are asterisks

The passwords are asterisks in the actual student account. I am trying to pull a report and export them so I can help students learn their passwords. Every time I pull the report the passwords stay asterisks so no one knows(staff included)what anyones passwords are. How do I fix this issue when I pull the report?

This is by design in PowerSchool =>23.5. See below.

@salesm148 This is by design. You can import a password for all students then simply allow students to manage their own passwords. They are probably more adept at it than half the school employees. 🙂

I completely understand.  It's just not helpful for the K-8th population.  Thank you for responding!

I think it is like that for all schools, and I hate it.  I wish it would show the password the first time and then require students change it the first time they log in.
