I have a large number of users. I want to import them into FusionAuth with their password hashes and the accompanying data like the factor.
But my cutover is going to be slow, so I expect some percentage of people to change their password hashes after the import.
So I'd like synchronize any password hashes that changed in the meantime, and then roll out FusionAuth.
I can't re-import password hashes for an existing user, and the User API doesn't let me update passwords hashes, per this closed issue: https://github.com/FusionAuth/fusionauth-issues/issues/348
What would you recommend?

I think the way I'd approach this is:
import all users into FusionAuth
At cutover time:
look at local database to see which password hashes had changed
pull the user data from FusionAuth for each of these users
delete the user
re-import the user with the new password hash and the FusionAuth data, maintaining the same userId (if you provide the UUID, we'll use that)
I get that is an additional complexity, but hopefully that helps.
