Creating a user with a hashed password

dan · 24 Jul 2020, 15:07

We need to store users hashed passwords in our db before sending to FusionAuth.

Looks like the users API asks for plain text passwords and with the import endpoint you can send the hashed one specifying the schema.

Importing isn't great because we'll be adding the user when they've completed an offline task, so one by one.

What's the recommendation? Is there a plan for the users API to accept hashed passwords as well as plaintext?

Currently the only way to accomplish this will be to use the Import API, as you mentioned: https://fusionauth.io/docs/v1/tech/apis/users#import-users

We do have an open feature request to allow hashes to be provided on the User API, which I think would be what you're looking for: https://github.com/FusionAuth/fusionauth-issues/issues/348

Feel free to upvote that issue.
