Hey, We’re using usync migrations to move content from v8 to v13, so are not following the more traditional upgrade process. However we do need to migrate the users over. Guessing the options are: 1) uSync people edition, not sure if this will work going from v8 to v13? 2) Traditional upgrade process v9-v10-v11-v13 (did this and it worked but was a bit long winded) 3) Custom SQL script. Ideally we want to keep the same passwords. Any input appreciated

uSync people edition works, but you need a license for it in Umbraco 13 (trial license works if you haven't used your trial yet) If you go the upgrade route, you can skip 9 and 11, so from 8 to 10 to 13. Saves you a few steps.

We did this by exporting the members to a custom csv and import them on the new env. As long as you also port over the hashed password, all will work

To upgrade the database you can simply take you Umbraco 8 database and connect it to an Umbraco 13 instance, that works perfectly fine, no need to go from v8-v9-v10-v11-v12-v13

Thanks all, uSync to the rescue (not for the first time) Interesting that I can go straight from 8 to 13, i'm sure I tried that at the start, but can't remember exactly.
