 * So I have this use use case where there’s no email field as a primary identifier(
   deactivated manually by myself).
    A large batch of Usernames + PWs has to be 
   imported, unfortunately the plugin relies upon the Email column. Is there a workaround
   for that behavior?
 * Moreover, while testing the import of .csv’s that do include the Email-column,
   the passwords didn’t seem to be imported properly. I couldn’t log-in to any of
   the imported user accounts. Could my modifications to the WP core (No Email reliance)
   be the reason for this?
 * Thanks!

 * Sorry but you should not modify the core never.
 * This is a very bad practice.
 * For this plugin you can import fake emails for every user but email should exist.
