    Default Migration, user password decryption

    Facing a challenge when migrating zen cart users over to another solution with the encrypted passwords. Is there a way to create a decryption key to allow to retain users passwords?

    Not exactly from my understanding because of the encryption process, unless you have like super computing power behind it all to decrypt.

    That said, you could modify the password encryption process on this other solution that you believe will be better than what ZC has to offer. Otherwise all customers will just have to reset their password the first time they try to login to that "solution".

    The encryption technique used by Zen Cart is a one-way hash.
