I would like to use this plugin to give around 300 users access to three or four protected pages and rather than them all having to register, I would like to do it in bulk, maybe directly import the information into the table created by the plugin.
However, I cannot see where you are doing the password encryption. My idea is to randomly generate passwords in plain text and then run them through a converter to encrypt them and then import into the table. To do this, I need to know how your passwords are encrypted. It looks like you may be using the WordPress login system but I am not sure.
Any advice anyone can give would be very useful, thanks!

We use the same password encryption that WordPress uses for the standard WP Users. I think your best option is to import the users with random password then when you communicate with them, tell them to reset the password.
Good idea – I didn’t think of that! Thanks.
