# Which Problems Are Solved
Allow verification of imported passwords hashed with plain md5, without
salt. These are password digests typically created by one of:
- `printf "password" | md5sum` on most linux systems.
- PHP's `md5("password")`
- Python3's `hashlib.md5(b"password").hexdigest()`
# How the Problems Are Solved
- Upgrade passwap to
[v0.6.0](https://github.com/zitadel/passwap/releases/tag/v0.6.0)
- Add md5plain as a new verfier option in `defaults.yaml`
# Additional Changes
- Updated documentation to explain difference between `md5` (crypt) and
`md5plain` verifiers.
# Additional Context
- Requested by customer for import case
