eg private $uname = $current_user->user_login; private $pass = '???';

As Tim Post says, you can't get the password. In any good system, passwords are hashed rather than encrypted. Hashing is a one-way function - you cannot un-hash a hashed password, which prevents those with access to a user database from knowing the stored passwords.

On top of this, Wordpress applies a salt to the password before hashing, so even if it was possible to un-hash the password, you'd need to know which part is the password and which part is the salt.
