Is migrating Passwords from an existing system to Salesforce system possible?

Hi All,

Running in thru a requirement where we need to migrate the passwords of the users from the existing system to salesforce system.

I know its not possible to do this through DataLoader.

But is there some way through which we can acheive the task?

Please suggest if you know a way out.

 

Thanks,

Simson

User password is not exported or imported in salesforce , this is a security feature. So what you can do perhaps after you import data of your users you can send them reset password mails.

 

Did this answer your question? If not, let me know what didn't work, or if so, please mark it solved

No that did not answer my question.

Simson,

 

As already answered, Salesforce does not allows you to import export password. You have to regenerate them for all the users, in the new Org. You might have couple of different options to do so. You can reset the password for all of them, using APEX script, which will send an email to all the users to login and change their passwords.
