The migrate password plugin is meant to be activated only on the forum after the migration has been done, otherwise, it can [cause errors](https://meta.discourse.org/t/importing-migrating-from-phpbb3/30810/643) during the user imports.

To see if it’s working, just activate it and try to log in with your old password.
