I have an Umbraco 8 site. Is there a way to copy these members to Umbraco 10 but keeping their details the same?
Thanks

07/28/2023, 3:23 PMWe used an extension called CMSImports but version wasn't uptodate so did not want to install it on the live site, since it was only for the once-off. We copied back the database and updated it locally and then restored to the live site.The test licence only allowed 500 lines but that was just about enough for us
Tested on a chunk of 9 or 10 until we got it sorted. I do recall there were issues with date formatting but still it didn't take too long.

07/28/2023, 8:38 PMThanks! So you mean you guys successfully got the members out of Umbraco but couldn't keep the same passwords? Is that correct?

09/05/2023, 9:12 AMHey 👋 I am in the process of migration members from an Umbraco V. 7 to Umbraco V. 12
It looks as if I am able to create the members in V. 12 change the Hashing Algorithm to HMACSHA256 and then copy the hashed password from V. 7 to V. 12 In my initial testing this looks to be working.
@Terminator did you manage to transfer the passwords to your new Umbraco installation?

09/05/2023, 9:50 AMHey, no I didn't. Instead I just got the original database and followed the upgrade path to Umbraco 10 which was enough for us at this stage

09/05/2023, 10:38 AMAlright. Transfering the passwords almost seems to good to be true. That's why I asked. If you had managed to transfer the passwords I would trust my own test a bit more 😄

09/05/2023, 10:41 AMOh, just found a message here on Discord that seems to confirm my findings. https://discord.com/channels/869656431308189746/1133032871943229521/1134092449988493364

09/05/2023, 12:59 PM@kdx-perbol Thanks I appreciate you chiming in! Transferring the passwords seems to be within reach 👌

09/05/2023, 1:00 PMJust remember to update the production site for each upgrade step. Not just the development environment. 🙂

09/05/2023, 1:11 PMI am starting with a new Umbraco v12 installation, so I will manually migrate data from V7 to V12.

09/05/2023, 6:59 PMNot sure how to even do that. All our upgrades have been in-place. 8 > 8.latest > 9.latest > 10.latest > 11.latest to make sure Umbaco and all plugins support the upgrades. I can see now why you would change the hashing algorithm and copy the hashes. 🙂 I agree, that should work.
