 * I am trying to export our user passwords out to another system. When I put the
   code from your FAQ into My Custom Functions, it adds a column to the export but
   the passwords do not appear to be plaintext passwords. Has this filter been changed
   to not do that anymore?

 * HI [@samueljroys](https://wordpress.org/support/users/samueljroys/) — I’ll have
   to test that again. I’ll let you know what I find.
 * Can I ask why it’s important for you to have plain-text passwords in your export?
   What is the use-case exactly?

 * We are importing our users to a new system. In an attempt to make the transition
   more seamless, we were hoping to allow them to sign in using their previous password.
   If we can export the passwords out in plain-text, our new system can import them
   in and encrypt them again.
 * Thank you for your attention!

 * If they are exported as MD5hash encrypted, and saved into the database that way,
   then you should be fine. What import tool are you using exactly?
