A question regarding User Import:
When importing fully registered users, are there any limitations/validation that is done during import on the password field? In other words, is there a way to pass in a password in the user import workflow that would prevent the user from logging in?
(As an aside, outside of the 6-20 character limit: are there any other limitations on characters for use in passwords?)
If the password field is not greater than 4 characters for a user in the import csv/xls, the importer should fail to import that user. There is also validation that happens for any user login/password registration that happens when new users are being imported. The password cannot be something that the login starts with or ends with.
Hi DougS,
Is there any difference in the character limitation (greater than 4 characters) when uploading a member account versus a member registering themselves on the registration page? I would assume the limitations would be the same...?
Thanks!

It doesn't look like it goes through the same input validation that it goes through when you set a password through the UI, so there could be a difference between the character limitations in the UI vs. in the user import.
The default for the UI is 4 to 20 characters, and this could be changed in your site's plugin by Support or pro-serv, but for the user import process it is always 4 to <infinate> characters.
