How can I export the user password hash from auth0 and store in my external db and use it for authentication? I know that password isnt stored in plain text but if i want to export will i get the hashing algorithm used so that i can verify using hash? ---

Hey @rueben.tiow , thanks for directing me on how to export passwords. I also want to know if I export the passwords (hash), whether I will get the info on how to compare plain text passwords with the exported hash? (basically how the hash was created and all the keys used in the process.) There is no info on this in the docs. ---

Hi @rkreddy2699, Thanks for following up and I’m sorry for the late response. > [@rkreddy2699](#): > > I also want to know if I export the passwords (hash), whether I will get the info on how to compare plain text passwords with the exported hash? (basically how the hash was created and all the keys used in the process.) There is no info on this in the docs. The password hashes uses the **bcrypt** hashing algorithm. You can compare an incoming plain-text password with the hash to see if they match using any popular bcrypt library available for your technology of choice. Thanks, Rueben ---
