Password Migration (v1.1.0+)

If you're updating from a version older than 1.1.0, your existing password will be automatically migrated to the new secure hashed format. You don't need to change your password - the plugin will handle this automatically and show you a success message in the WordPress admin.

This migration ensures your password is stored securely using WordPress's built-in wp_hash_password() function.
