Hello Auth0 Support Team,
I would like to inquire if you now offer a method for bulk importing users with their hashed passwords exported from WordPress.
Specifically, my question is whether it’s possible to extract user information with hashed passwords from WordPress into a JSON file and then successfully bulk import it into Auth0.
I have researched this topic and found a community thread from 2022 which indicated that this was not supported at the time: Bulk import from wordpress is not working
Another article suggested that while Auth0’s user import can handle hash and salt attributes for passwords, it lacks support for the iteration count used by WordPress’s password hashing algorithm. Importing users from standard wordpress auth
Could you please let me know if there have been any updates or if a solution for this issue is now available?
Thank you for your time and assistance.
Hi @unhyun.lee
Welcome to the Auth0 Community!
Reading through your use-case, iteration count is indeed not supported at this moment, also mentioned in this following Knowledge Article on Importing password hash made by PHP fails. I am wondering if it can be an option for you to have the users reset their password after importing them in Auth0. Based on what this article mentions, user import with an unsupported hashing algorithm will need to reset their password, which indicates that the import should complete successfully in this case.
This being said, have you tried using the Auth0 WordPress Plugin by any chance? While this does not revolve around using a JSON file and importing it in Auth0, it is a method of user migration from WordPress to Auth0 which should still be working.
Hope this helps!
