Try this.
let result = Accounts._checkPassword(user, password);

meteor/meteor/blob/devel/packages/accounts-password/password_server.js#L61


password = getPasswordString(password);
return bcryptHash(password, Accounts._bcryptRounds);
};


// Extract the number of rounds used in the specified bcrypt hash.
const getRoundsFromBcryptHash = hash => {
let rounds;
if (hash) {
  const hashSegments = hash.split('$');
  if (hashSegments.length > 2) {
    rounds = parseInt(hashSegments[2], 10);
  }
}
return rounds;
};


// Check whether the provided password matches the bcrypt'ed password in
// the database user record. `password` can be a string (in which case
// it will be run through SHA256 before bcrypt) or an object with
// properties `digest` and `algorithm` (in which case we bcrypt
// `password.digest`).

I try that method by do like this Accounts._checkPassword(email, password)and my login information is like ‘email: super@rabbit.com, password: super123’. And i got this error ```TypeError: Cannot read property ‘password’ of undefined``

You need to get user information before call Accounts._checkPassword.

let user = Accounts.findUserByEmail(email);
let result = Accounts._checkPassword(user , password);
