Yes, probably it is for user names, but not passwords, passwords should be stored in database in a hashed format, not plain readable text.
This is also the reason why when user forget their password we send them a new generated password, because we can't tell them what their previous password was, because we store the passwords in a hashed format.
If you own the site then you normally have access to its database, there's no need to fetch information from website, you go and access the information straight from the database : )

Sorry, I don't have a code for that, but if you visit this link below you can learn how to use PHP for accessing data.

If you are into learning, and you have a laptop/PC you can install XAMPP, it's a software package with Apache (web server) PHP, MariaDb (MySQL free version).
With that software you have a local server in your computer, where you can play and experiment.

User names & passwords are confidential information, it would be illegal to fetch other people's credentials without their consent.
