This is a design pattern that Laravel uses called Facades. This should clarify things for you: http://laravel.com/docs/facades
you cannot 'decrypt' / 'dehash' a hash
when checking if the password is correct the input is hashed and the input hash and the database hash are compared, if they match the user entered the correct password
no idea why you want user's to be able to view their own password but unless you save it (encrypted) there is no way for you to 'dehash' it from the hash
that said, storing plaintext / encrypted passwords is a very bad idea, google it if you like
