 * I’m trying to export passwords too. Was able to, but it exported encrypted in
   MD5. I need the actual passwords. We uploaded users from an old system and it
   created the passwords but the system wasn’t fully set up yet and the users didn’t
   get the emails. Owners want to email everyone separately instead of pointing 
   everyone to the lost password screen.
