How to find Apppools username AND password?

At your WFE, C:\Windows\System32\inetsrv>
type appcmd list apppool /text:*

This will bring up a list of every applicationpools at your WFE, showing both Username and Password! Helpful if you have lost any password, but also a possible security issue, everyone having access to your WFE and have administration rights can also gain access to your accounts and password. What about you have accounts with Active Directory permissions?
