I'm working on migrating data and users from an older Joomla website. I would prefer to allow people to reuse their passwords.

After looking at [1326450] I have a slightly better understanding of what I need to do, but I'm still not completely clear on the details. What parameters should I add to my user migration to keep it from re-hashing user passwords? Do I need to add some sort of custom prefix to the password migrate saves it and then make my own password.inc version that adds a new case statement to interpret the custom prefix?

No need for yet another issue here, let's take it up at #1335110: Document that md5_password requires lowercase md5 hashes. Essential information would be how Joomla hashes its passwords (md5?).
