Hello -

I have successfully imported about 100 users with the excellent user import module but I must be overlooking something obvious - I don't know where are the passwords or how I can import some... Does anyone know??

Thanks

Patrick

I have not used the 5.1 version but I assume it works the same way as the 4.7 version.

The module allows you to map columns from your CSV-formatted spreadsheet file to fields in the Drupal database.

One of those possibilities is "password."

If you told the module to generate a random password instead, then it did. However, Drupal does not actually store passwords (instead, it stores a hash value -- in effect, a one-way encryption).

Users can request a one-time login link via email, which will allow them to reset the password to something of their own choosing.

Apologies... I had not noticed that the field password was available to map... was working without enough sleep :-/

Thanks!!
