Hi Dipesh,

thanks for your comment.

So you want to migrate the users of Wordpress to Joomla (continously perhaps). Unluckily you cannot convert the Wordpress users’ passwords to their plaintext values and then reencode them by MD5 for Joomla. They are hashed, so you’ve got bad luck there. Of course you could try to crack them but they’re salt-hashed so there is less chance you could achieve that.

BUT: you could adopt the PHPASS algorithm for use in Joomla! That should not be that hard. So you can simply change 1) the password hashing in the Joomla registration process and 2) the password check of Joomla.
Then migrate all passwords from Wordpress to Joomla and you’re done.

Plan B: convert the password hashing for Wordpress from PHPASS back to MD5 and you save yourself from the hassle of changing Joomla code. But you must live with less security of your Wordpress installation then.
