Will my customer passwords be transferred during WooCommerce migration?

Yes, there is an opportunity to migrate passwords from and to WooCommerce, providing that the store has default settings and no custom code modifications are included.Note: If your shopping cart has any modifications in password settings, we can not guarantee its accurate transfer.
