Modifying the Member App

Hi

I need help regarding this situation, I need to update the perch2_members using my other database, I can easily add the EmailAddress and Member Properties, But I'm having a hard time adding there password because it is encrpted on the database. Is there a way to use the Encrypting and Decrypting Function of members app ? so that I can automatically add my users from my other database to perch2_members ?

Any comments and suggestions are welcome ^_^

Thank you in advance.

If you include the Perch API and have the clear text password you can do this:

$Hasher = new PasswordHash(8, true);
$encrypted_pwd = $Hasher->HashPassword($clear_pwd);

You shouldn't keep the clear text password if you have it.
