Hi Ramy,

Welcome to our support forum and many thanks for using our tools on your shop.

FYI, when a user is created in WordPress the set password is encrypted and stored in the database, which makes it almost impossible to retrieve in plaintext and export it alongside with the rest of the userdata. For that reason the password is not exported at all which based on your description doesn’t fit for your project but it’s a WP core design feature we have to accept it as is.

Kind regards,
George
