Update user password on user interface

When you import.. there is no space after the password (in Appery.io database)?

Update user password on user interface

Max, I can't clearly understand you, sprry. Please save text I provided in previous post to users.csv and then try to import in into Users collection. Impoer works fine. But then you are unable to login with password 123456.

I can't see any extra spaces or special characters.

Hi Zahhar,

Probably this is a bug.
Trying to fix it ASAP.

Update user password on user interface

My mistake.

As I found out from dev-team, we will implement importing of plain-text passwords in further releases.

You can import such data only if the data was previously exported from our database.
The workaround for this case would be to write a script which will make REST API calls updating these user entries' passwords or change them manually using web admin UI (if the number of entries is not very big).

Sorry for inconvenience.

Thank you, Antod. Yes, it is quite logical. Would be nice to have documentation updated about this little detail. Might save time for other users.

Update user password on user interface

I just had the very same issue and having plain-text password importation would be quite useful.
Struggling to write the necessary script. Can somebody help?

Hello,
Unfortunately, you can't export passwords as plain text, passwords can only be exported as hash.
