How to get unselected column in typeorm?

Question

I create a user entity with password-

@Entity()
export class User {
    @PrimaryGeneratedColumn()
    id: number;
    @Column({ type: "text", nullable: false })
    userName: string;
    @Column({ type: "text", nullable: false })
    email: string;
    @Column({ type: "text", nullable: false })
    firstName: string;
    @Column({ type: "text", nullable: false })
    lastName: string;
    @Column({ type: "text", nullable: false, select: false }) //It is select as false
    password: string;
    @Column({ type: "text", nullable: true })
    socket_id: string;
    @Column({ type: "text", nullable: true })
    avatar: string;
    @Column({ type: "boolean", default: false, nullable: false })
    is_verify: boolean;
    @CreateDateColumn()
    created_at: Date;
    @UpdateDateColumn()
    updated_at: Date;
}

In this entity , I set select as false . When I find it, now password I am not seeing password column. It's okay for me.

But some time I need this password column to verify password. Then I how can I find this column. I am not getting any idea. Please help any-

const user = await this.userRepository.findOneBy({
    email: loginInput.email,
    is_verify: true
})
console.log(user)

What things I have to change in this code to get password column also.

You can select hidden column :

const user = await this.userRepository.findOne({
  where: {
    email: loginInput.email,
    is_verify: true,
  },
  select:{
    password:true,
  },
});
console.log(user);
