Hi, we are trying to import users from a different data store using this guide: https://developer.okta.com/docs/reference/api/users/*create-user-with-imported-hashed-password
When the user logs in for the first time, does okta rehash the password? Or is the original imported hashing algorithm kept?
Context: we would like okta to rehash the passwords in case our imported hashing algorithm isn't secure in the future.

Hello @jgzg7 (jgzg7) Thank you for posting on our Community page!
At this time Okta does not re-hash the password automatically, however you could re-hash the password though API. Please see our doc below:

Thank you for reaching out to our Community and have a great day!
