Paul and Chris, Thank you for your comments. After consulting with the vendor (OverDrive, Inc.), it looks like we will not need to send the passwords after all [sigh of relief].

Dear Colleagues,
My library needs to regularly send to a vendor a list of our patrons' library card numbers and passwords/PINs so that they can authenticate patrons. The only way which I have found to do this is to use the "Export Patrons" report found at < https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/SQL_Reports_Library#Export_patrons . Unfortunately, the passwords in the report are encrypted and are not given in cleartext. I am glad to see that Koha does not just give out passwords in cleartext, but is there a way to make this work?
Nope, the passwords are not stored in the clear anywhere, it's a one directional encryption, there is no way to go back. (On purpose of course)
