 * I am importing member information via an csv. Passwords won’t work. Do I have
   to use “Registration” and “Login”? Can’t I import passwords and not use “registration”?
 * I’ve tried “Password”, “password”, “user_pass”, and “user_password” but none 
   of these fields has worked for loging in.
 * Thank you for your help

 * Hi [@babblechimp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/babblechimp/),
 * Can you please clarify what do you mean “Do I have to use “Registration” and “
   Login”?”
    The correct meta key for the password field is “user_password”.

 * I have that in my meta and it shows in my dashboard but when I try and login 
   it says wrong password.

 * What I mean by registration and login is that if I use registration I can create
   a password and then login. What I want to do is just have a login page but no
   registration page, ie all passwords are uploaded by admin via csv file.
 * I have user_password in my meta. I get both errors username and password are 
   incorrect. If I go to users on the wp dashboard where I do see the existing user
   and change the password there it will then work. But that doesn’t help for the
   csv upload.
 * Thank you

 * Example csv to see if I am doing the meta correctly.
