I’m running a forums site in Vanilla and would like to import these members into my EE members list.
So I follow the user guide and imported those members into my EE site. The only problem I run into is the Password encryption method that’s used in Vanilla is different to EE. As shown in the user guide, there are 2 type of hashing is Md5 and Sha1.

I’ve tried both of the method but people just can’t login using the password they use in Vanilla. In order to login to the EE site, they would need to use the reset password feature to change the password.

Here is how a password look like:

Is there anything that I’m missing?
Thanks!

Hi hungle,

I’m not familiar with how Vanilla hashes their passwords, but if the hash is salted, you won’t be able to transfer them directly.

One suggestion would be to set a standard password for everyone and let them login and change it. Or, as you mentioned, the reset method.

Neither is ideal, but there really will be no way to un-salt the hash 😕

Cheers,
