 * Hello,
 * I’ve installed the plugin on both sites and confirmed that user synchronization
   is working, except for passwords. All other user data is transferring correctly.
 * In the main site I have this configuration:

 * In the secondary site I have this configuration

 * Please let me know if I can provide more information.
 * Kind regards.

 * I have the same error. Could it be because WP is no longer using MD5 to hash 
   passwords??

 * Hello,
   I have tested with the following steps (with actions create, update, password,
   login, logout on both sites):– create a user on site A, with [password 0]– user
   is created on site B, with [password 0], and login on site B and site A successfully–
   change password to [password 1] on site B, logout– login on site A with the [
   password 1] successfully– change password to [password 2] on site A, logout– 
   login with [password 2] on site B successfully– delete the user on site A, successfully
   deleted on site B
 * I then changed and tested according to the provided screenshots:
   – site A: create,
   update, password, login, logout– site B: login, logout– created a user on site
   A with [password 0] – and login on site B and site A successfully– changed password
   to [password 1] on site A, logout– login with [password 1] on site B successfully
 * Please advise how to replicate the issue.
