XF 2.3 Account passwords imported via Importer addon are invalid

Hi, I've been testing importing my XF 2.2.19 instance into a freshly installed XF 2.3 instance. The import seemed to run fine, and all the users have pulled across fine - but the passwords appear to have been invalidated as part of the import so I can log in with any of the users from the live instance (including the main admin user).

Is there any way to have passwords carry over, or is it simply a requirement that all users will have to reset their passwords in the new instance? (That'll be a real pain and probably cause quite a few challenges for older users of the forum so am keen to avoid it if possible!)

why don't you simply update from 2.2. to 2.3 instead of importing? This would be the usual way and passwords will be preserved.

I keep getting failed upgrades, so wondered if this might be an alternative way of getting it upgraded. But will admit that it looks like it requires much more re-config than simply just importing everything across - so I probably do need to go back to the original plan of upgrading the current install!

Exactly. To disable all add-ons quickly you can put this code in your src/config.php file but note - when you remove the code it will reenable all add-ons at one time and may kill the forum. While the code is active you can still go into the new SCP and disable every addon so when you remove the code you can then troubleshoot.
$config['enableListeners'] = false;
