 * Sorry for being the annoying customer with a ton of questions, but your plugin
   is simply fantastic and I’m going to use your plugin instead of an old solution
   I’m currently running at another platform.
 * Is it in any way possible to import members from another system?
 * I thought that I maybe could create a .csv file, or add them directly into the
   database.
 * Thank you in advance!

 * This is not currently a feature available in UM but if you google “wordpress 
   import users” you will see a bunch of plugins that provide functionality of importing
   users from csv.
 * Maybe you can give one of them a test and see if it works. I haven’t tried any
   of them so unable to provide a recommendation.
 * Thanks

 * Okay, thanks! I’ll try to see if I can find something.
 * When I have imported the users and want to go live with the new setup, will it
   then be possible to send an email to all members with their Username and Password?

 * There is no specific functionality for this. Are your members coming from an 
   existing WordPress site? If so UM simply uses the WP user meta so if you import
   users they should have the same username and password.
 * If not something that might work is making all the users pending activation on
   users page. Then edit the approved email template to include username and password.
   Then you could bulk approve all users and they should get the email with the 
   details.

 * They come from another solution (not wordpress), but your last suggestion sounds
   like a good idea.
 * Thank you again!
