Customer Password

[Sandeep Tiwari]

Hi 

I am moving customers to another platform so how can we move passwords as I know this is not possible to get exact passwords. please share your reviews , is their any method by which we can get customers passwords from database table otherwise we have to send emails with the new modified password.

Copy the customers table from PrestaShop to a new table on the new platform.

 

You would need some custom code on the new platform which would hook into the new platform's validation code such that if the native authentication failed you would be able to see if the supplied username and password authenticate using the customers table you brought over from Prestashop (you'll have to implement the same authentication method used by Prestashop). If this yields a match, you can then create the customer a new account on the new platform using their current password.

Hmm make sense , prestashop uses Cookie Key with MD5 salt to generate the password so we would need to write the similar code in the new platform while authentication..

I think I must register on the old website to generate my unique password and then try to make password in the new platform so that it get validated.
