CSV User Import – How to add first password?

Andy, Thank for the reply. Up until now, members have had a very simple password and all used the same password (I know, that is lousy security). As I would prefer to not hard code PHP, I think we could insert a field into the FMP database, put that password in each record, export from FMP to XLS, rename it as .csv, import that using your plugin–and then encourage the members to change their passwords to something more secure using WordPress. If there is a better approach, I would welcome your guidance. Thank you.

Andy, I’ve encountered a problem with the plugin. Hope you can please tell me what I may have done to cause it. I had had 705 Subscribers in my WP database (along with 5 admins and 1 editor). After backing up the database (for safekeeping), I delete all subscribers, leaving 6 users. Then I set up a test .csv that had first name, last name, user name, email address. It took a very long time to import the short list of just 10 users, but it said it was successful. But no subscribers were added to the user list.

One thing that concerned me: The WordPress User screen displays:
username, name, email, role.

How do first name and last name fields get combined into the name field?

FYI, since our members were accustomed to using their email addresses for their IDs and only one universal (non-customized) password, we added the field in the csv for the user name to match the email address and the field for the password to contain the universal password.

Would having had separate fields for firstname and lastname have caused the users to not be properly imported?

Thanks for your help!
