 * Hello,
 * thanks for the nice plugin. It’s easy to set up and does it’s work.
 * After that I’ve tested some Scenarios about login and password changing.
    Unfortunately
   I’ve discovered that a login is not possible after changing the password in the
   external Database.
 * Now for my question: Is it possible to add a function that tries to grab the 
   new password and change it in the WordPress database after verifying it?

 * Hey [@drblackerror](https://wordpress.org/support/users/drblackerror/),
 * This is actually the default behaviour of the plugin. Every time the user logs
   in they get their credentials checked against the current password in the external
   database.
 * The only time this doesn’t happen is if you’ve ticked migration mode.
 * This will then check to see if the user already exists in the WordPress database,
   and if they do, will use the details stored there.
 * Can you check if this is checked for me and let me know if this solves your problem
   🙂
 * Thanks,
 * Tom 🙂
