    Jason,

    The plugin reads the password in plain text and then, WordPress insert it in the correct way.

    Passwords in WordPress uses hashes: https://eamann.com/tech/wordpress-password-hashing/ and yes we could do it updating directly in MySQL because passwords should be possible to move from one site to another encrypted.

    Do you want this new functionality in the plugin?

    Hi Javier,
    Yes, that would be fantastic. I have a project that requires import of users with passwords that are already encrypted using MD5, so that would be brilliant.

    Jason,

    Sorry but if the password are already encrypted in MD5 we can’t do it. We would need or passwords in WordPress format (this is not MD5) or passwords in plain text.
