    I've imported users from and existing membership system to amember without issues except for the passwords. Our current passwords are MD5 hashes. I was under the impression that amember couldnt deal with these easily but after reading a few places, including:

    http://www.amember.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4857
    http://manual.amember.com/AMember_Session_Variables

    it seems like maybe it can. Both of these mention using MD5, but I dont understand what they are saying as I imported the users but they only work with the clear text.

    Any thoughts?

    Thank you!

    How do you check if it works or not? Try to login into aMember itself, for example to
    http://www.amember.com/amember/member.php

    Also, it will not work with (for example) vBulletin passwords, because it is actually more complicated than simple MD5.
