Migration Strategies

Each migration strategy has different trade-offs in terms of user experience, technical complexity, and operational overhead. Choose based on your user base, technical constraints, and business requirements.

Choose Based on Your Users

Small user base (<10K users): Bulk Password Reset is often the simplest and most reliable approach.
Active user base: JIT Migration provides the best experience with no mass password resets.
Mixed user base: Hybrid approach lets you optimize for different user segments.
Enterprise with compliance needs: Guided Password Reset provides clear communication and audit trails.

Strategy Overview

Bulk Password Reset

Export all users, import into new provider, then send password reset emails. Simplest approach with predictable outcomes.

Guided Password Reset

Branded email flows guide users through password reset with clear messaging. Better UX than generic resets.

JIT Migration

Users migrate on first login. No mass password resets, great for active users. Spreads migration over time.

Hybrid

Mix strategies based on user activity. JIT for active users, bulk reset for dormant accounts.
