Important

APIs under the /beta version in Microsoft Graph are subject to change. Use of these APIs in production applications is not supported. To determine whether an API is available in v1.0, use the Version selector.

Retrieve a list of password authentication method objects. This will return exactly one object, as a user can have exactly one password.
