Plone doesn't store plain passwords in database. It stores it in a hashed form. That's why the only way for user that forgot his password is to reset it and pick a new one.
I think you'll need to write one more PAS plugin that will store passwords in a plain form without any encryption for later usage in your external service. An I'm not sure if there are any existing addons providing such functionality.
