• 2 Victor C, gave the correct answer. Also, there is absolutely never a reason why you should try to capture user passwords. Even if you have good intentions, gathering them creates a major security hole. – w3bguy Commented Sep 11, 2019 at 14:24
• Thank you. The reason why im doing this is whenever a record has been change or edited, the user will need to enter his or her credentials before it gets save. – tpn1023 Commented Sep 11, 2019 at 14:33

You can get the current user's id (email) with nlapiGetContext().getUser() in 1.0 or runtime.getCurrentUser() in 2.0. However you cannot get the user's password for obvious security reasons.
