The title and description of the "Show password" REST API endpoint previously suggested that the endpoint would return the password value. In fact, it only returns the metadata of the password store entry (comment, documentation URL, owner, sharing, and customer assignment).

The endpoint title and description have been updated to describe this accurately and to make explicit that the password value is not returned. The behavior of the endpoint is unchanged.
