Hi;

I have to do a user migration from Drupal -> Modx .... and the user passwords cannot change...

I notice they are stored in encrypted form. Is there any way that I can decypt them or somehow get the plain text versions for import?

-thanks

My understanding is that the passwords are not actually stored. What you are looking at is a MD5 hash of the password. While MD5 is no longer considered 'secure' actually cracking all your users passwords might be more trouble than it's worth. A nicely worded message to your users that they will have to reset their passwords after the migration might be easier.
