I’ve been trying to use the plug-in ahead of importing a batch of users for my site. I think I’ve gotten around most of the gotchas and can now import a new user successfully with all of the relevant fields configured appropriately however the password I’m setting for my user doesn’t seem to work. The user is being created correctly and I can use the forgotten password prompt to reset the password but I’d like the initial password I’m setting for my users to be honoured. I haven’t selected the ‘Password is already hashed’ option. I wonder if there are any plug-in specific constraints such as character count, use of special characters etc. I should be aware of? The passwords I’ve tried to create should meet WordPress best practice. Are there any other issues to consider? I’m using WP 6.22 I’m sure you’re avoiding quote (single, double, back-tick, etc), possibly wildcard (*, %) and non ASCII characters in the passwords. Would also be cautious with long strings, but other than that there shouldn’t be anything I can think of, off the top of my head. (Been a little while since I wrote that code, and not in front of a computer right now to check, sorry). By way of feedback, I’ve given up trying to preset the users passwords and have adopted an approach whereby they are prompted to login and set the password themselves. This seems to be working.
