How to export customers passwords from CRM

[lazmattlabs]

I'm trying to backup our CRM database. You used to be able to export the password field but is now gone. Any ideas how to do this?

Cheers

Hi Laz,

We stop allowing this due to security reasons last year. 

"CRM User Passwords will no longer be exposed through API and custom reports - with this release we are completing our security policy update for CRM passwords and will stop delivering CRM user passwords through API and Custom Reports. For more details about the security update, read our Important Security Policy Updates for CRM Users - Effective February 8th announcement"

Hope this clarifies!

Since BC has stopped delivering passwords through custom reports - how do I use Import Contact (Advanced) to upload data to various fields if I cannot download the paswords to a CSV type file in the first place.  BC Help for Importing Data states that the password field is one that is updated using this method.  ie each time I use the Import template I delete all the passwords - this sounds a little non-sensical to me. What is the process for importing additional inforamtion to CRM without wiping out passwords, please?
