@akruhler commented on GitHub (Jul 2, 2022):

Thanks for your request! The password hint unfortunately appears not to be a property accessible through the API which is used in the application to access the users and groups on the system. So whilst this would certainly be a useful feature to implement, it would require manipulation of the SAM database, which is not desired in the context of this application.
