Import users with Passwords

I have looked through the website and found that most results recommend to send users a notification to renew their passwords.
I do not want to do that, I would like to import all the users and their current passwords to my new server.
What steps can I take to do this? I have Pro version of s2member.
Thank you.

s2Member Pro allows you to do this. Look under Dashboard -> s2Member -> Import/Export. It should work just fine for you. If it doesn't, let me know and I'll show you another way it may be possible to do this.

It does not seem to bring in passwords. It shows them blank.

Passwords are encrypted in the database, and you can't get them back. The way the check works when the user logs in is that the password he enters gets encrypted the same way it was when saved in the database, so if they match it's the same. But the encryption is not reversible so you can't get them back. That's why the lost pasword feature generates a new one, it doesn't give you back the one you lost. At least this is how I understand it to be.
