 * This is a question about migrating users to WP from a table of old user/pass,
   to new WP logins. Does this plugin check user/pass against WP logins and then
   the External database/table?
 * We want to migrate users over to stronger WP user/pass from an old system and
   this plugin looks like I can do that with the hooks over a period of time (e.
   g. 60 days). Locking them out until they use the newer WP user/pass.
 * Am I correct in that line of thinking? It certainly seems like that’s the case
   from all I’ve read. Thanks.

 * Sorry, I should have really looked at the settings more closely. It has the migration
   mode which will certainly help with what I asked.
