Getting the users password in an onUserAfterSave event via a plugin

Is it possible to get the users unencrypted password in an onUserAfterSave even in a plugin? If so how?

I tried using $user->password_clear but that is blank.

You may retrieve the unhashed password using $_POST['password']

Joomla use md5 hash to store password which is many to one mapping. So its almost impossible to recover JOOMLA password from md5 hash.

To change password just generate another md5 hash and replace it in database.
