    I have my users stored in CSV with md5 passwords.
    Is there a way i could use those passwords in amember?

    I tried to import but passwords didnt work.
    Then i tried to manually change the "pass" value in database to correct hash. Also didnt work.

    Hmm...i have an idea. Maybe i can import those md5 passwords in a "normal" way and then just change the validation code(for login). I would add an additional OR statement for validation where i would md5 code the password before i check it with amember.

    Would this work? How could i do that? Is there a hook to do this?

    Yes this would work.
    You would need to modify /amember/application/default/models/User.php function checkPassword($pass)

    We also plan to add such fnctionality into the core :
