    Default Problem with passwords after converting customers from OSCommerce

    Hi

    I ran the script for customer conversion and all the data came across successfully. The problem I have though is that it has copied over the customer passwords as encrypted by OSC but ZenCart does not recognise the encryption. My own account on OSC has a totally different encrypted password to that of a test customer using the same password.

    Does anyone know where the passwords are encrypted and if it it is possible to change the encryption process to match that of OSC?

    Thanks

    My understanding is that the encryption is a one way process. (At least in ZC it isconsidered as such.) Don't know if the option available is to in essence reset everyone's password on this new location. Might be able to do things automatically for all customer's either through a plugin or some other auto command. (Would want something that calls the customer reset password option for all customer's "at once".) That way they would all receive their uniquely generated password rather than all customers having the same password. Also, when they try to login they may have to choose the forgot password option to have one sent to them that is autogenerated.

    As part of the process, depending on method employed, may post something like in efforts to provide a better customer interface, the passwords for all users beginning on (provide date) must be recreated. We are sorry for the inconvenience but we hope you will enjoy the new website.
