I don't believe you should ever be able to do it, passwords are supposed to
be confidential.
Allowing to retrieve them somehow already shows that the system stores the
password as plain text instead of their hashes, what is a flaw IMHO.

No. And that's a feature! :)
What you can do is reset it though.

By the way, recently I created my account on XWiki JIRA and it mailed me my
password in plain text, saying I could retrieve it at any moment again if I
wanted.
I didn't like that, it kind of showed me my password was being stored as
plain text...
Is this an issue of JIRA itself or some configuration of XWiki's JIRA? If
you can do anything to change it in your configuration, well, I don't know
if I can vote for such a thing, but here goes my +1. ;-)
If it's an issue of the JIRA platform and it can't be different, then maybe
putting some warnings as you do for the mailing list password? It would be
nice...
Best regards,
Tiago.

No idea. Let us know if you find the answer.
Thanks

You shouldn't be able to do it.

Actually you can get the session password with the PersistentLoginManager
(if I understand the term "session password" right):
this.persistentLoginManager.getRememberedPassword(request, response);
I posted this "flaw" already last week on the mailing list but got no
answer. The password is stored in the (session) cookie and can be retrieved
at any time.
