I am in the process of moving all members from one Umbraco installation to another. I have already created a CSV file containing all of the member information, including the already hashed password. My goal is to import these hashed passwords into the new installation using CMSImport, but I would like to know if it will work as I expect.
If I map the passwords manually, will CMSImport attempt to hash the passwords again? If so, maybe I should set the passwords to clear text in web.config, import them, and then change it back to hash mode?
Yes if the password is already hashed it's best to set the password format to clear before import then it should be imported correct. Don't forget to change it back to hashed after the import.
