From cnet.com:
"The U.S. government has demanded that major Internet companies divulge
users' stored passwords, according to two industry sources familiar with
these orders, which represent an escalation in surveillance techniques
that has not previously been disclosed.
If the government is able to determine a person's password, which is
typically stored in encrypted form, the credential could be used to log
in to an account to peruse confidential correspondence or even
impersonate the user. Obtaining it also would aid in deciphering
encrypted devices in situations where passwords are reused."
