Magento is the leading e-commerce platform rapidly gaining in popularity. This magento discussion was started by Georg Ringer 0n July 21 2008

I try to import some thousand customers from a different system and I wonder how I can do this with the passwords which are currently plain md5 encrypted.

Magento uses a kind of salt technology which is fine but how to import the customers so that they can log in?

Thanks a lot!
Georg
PS: Asking them to ask for a new pwd is not an option
PPS: Rewrite the authorization process and delete all the salt-thing isnt an option either
