Viewing passwords is not possible, because they are not stored anywhere. WordPress stores just the hash of the password, not the password itself. When a user sends her password to authenticate herself, WordPress creates a hash of the sent password and compares that to the stored hash.
You should not try to store the passwords as plain text anywhere. That would be a huge security problem.
