I’ve made some changes to an EE install and changed some channels and channel fields. I need to copy across some members in the current database but there are only 5 so I was going to copy these over by hand as it’s just a few fields per member. The information is easy to copy but the tricky bit is the passwords as they are stored encrypted.

Looking in the database I see these fields which all look to be part of it:

- password
- salt
- unique_id
- crypt_key

Can someone confirm which fields I’d need to copy over to the new database in order to ensure that the members still have the same details to log in with. Are all or just some of the above fields required to be copied?

Thanks

Hey Slippy,

Thank you for posting your question here on the ExpressionEngine forums.

You just need the password and the salt. The crypt_key should be created after the first log in.

Is there anything else I can help you with?

Thank you,

Hi Shane,

That’s great. I thought it was probably just those two but wanted to make sure before making any changes just to be on the safe side.

Thanks for your help.

Hey Slippy,

My pleasure! I am glad I could help.

If you need anything else, please just let me know by opening a new thread.

Cheers,
