Hi,
I´m trying to populate the member database with users from an other user database using SQL queries.
But I don´t seem to make the correct password encryption.
My question is how do I make the correct encryption for the password?
I use EE 1.6.7.
Thanks
Robert

Hi, Gatecom_Rob.
EE saves passwords using SHA1 encryption. Does that help?

Hi Sue,
This helpt me, thanks.

One thing I forgot to mention is that if you use MD5, EE will on the fly convert it to SHA1 when they log in.
So you can use the
CP Home › Admin › Member Import Utility with a .csv or .xml file using MD5.
Does that help?
Also, you’re a few versions behind, you might want to consider upgrading to 1.7.1 which has a few security upgrades applied.
