Quoting Sam Cohen support@newms.net:
Why not just use mysqldump? The data should transfer for the password. After all the hash is just characters. If you really need a module, there is http://drupal.org/project/importexportapi.

It's taking users from a D5 to a D6 site and while a mysql dump would populate the user table -- I assume you mean just the user table -- if there are any other modules hooked into user_save they would be skipped with that approach. I suppose I can test to see if anythings hooked into user_save first. Do you know if in Drupal 6 a user_save affects any tables besides user -- not taking contributed modules into account?
I moved a site from one hosting company with MySql 3 to another hosting company with the latest MySql 5 and from PHP4 to PHP5 and from Drupal 4.7.3 to Drupal 6.10 without loosing users or data. I mysqldumped the data and used mysql on the other host to import the data. I set up the latest Drupal 4.7 and did an upgrade, without modules. I setup Drupal 5.0 and did an upgrade without modules. I setup the latest Drupal 5 version and did an upgrade without modules. I setup the latest Drupal 6 version and did an upgrade without modules. I installed the Drupal 6 modules and did an upgrade.
Also, that module you pointed out hasn't been ported to 6 yet.
There is a patch in the issue queue I need to get back to. It is reported not to work, though.
