List passwordMethods

[!INCLUDE beta-disclaimer]

Retrieve a list of password authentication method objects. This API returns exactly one object referenced by ID 28c10230-6103-485e-b985-444c60001490, as a user can have exactly one password. For security, the password itself is never returned in the object and the password property is always null.
