In order to protect members security, passwords are not displayed on the Members->Reps tab.

[video describing how to work with password security]
If previously you used this to login as that member, you can still do that by clicking on the "Login" link next to the Rep's name above.
If the rep forgot their password, you can just reset their password to something simple so they can get in and then go change it. Or tell them to visit the login page and click "Forgot Password" to be sent a reminder. You can also send them a reminder email that contains their login & password using the mail merge fields or use the pre-defined template "Remind how to login to the Member Information Center".merge fields or use the pre-defined template "Remind how to login to the Member Information Center".
Why were passwords removed from view? I used to use that all the time.
With the data breaches occurring at Target, Adobe, Snapchat, etc. it is more important than ever to keep usernames and password secure. The reason is that if you discover someone’s email address/login and password on one site you can likely use it on other common sites. We want to significantly reduce our customers, your members’ risk and our risk by increasing security.
