Password Export

  • I am trying to export our user passwords out to another system. When I put the code from your FAQ into My Custom Functions, it adds a column to the export but the passwords do not appear to be plaintext passwords. Has this filter been changed to not do that anymore?

    HI @samueljroys — I’ll have to test that again. I’ll let you know what I find.

    Can I ask why it’s important for you to have plain-text passwords in your export? What is the use-case exactly?

    We are importing our users to a new system. In an attempt to make the transition more seamless, we were hoping to allow them to sign in using their previous password. If we can export the passwords out in plain-text, our new system can import them in and encrypt them again.

    Thank you for your attention!

    If they are exported as MD5hash encrypted, and saved into the database that way, then you should be fine. What import tool are you using exactly?
