getAccount Optional Password Argument

It says password is optional in the wiki, does this mean i can just plug in the username and get the account?

You get player account with getPlayerAccount ( i think, not sure ) and then u use getAccountData

Yeah, I guess so. But I don't get why is there a password parameter if it's not needed.

The password argument is used to check if password matches.

Made sense about it being optional, i believe the wiki needs its optional argument description to be reworded to this.
