Felogin passwords are not converted to argon2i on login during typo3 upgrade

Question

I was doing an upgrade from Typo3 7 to Typo3 10. I am using felogin plugin for user login. In the documentations it is saying that the old salted passwords of users will get automatically converted to argon2i. But in my case, the login is not happening and also the passwords are not getting converted. For a new user created, this works perfectly. But the old salted passwords are not getting converted. Is there any other configurations we have to do?

Thank you

A direct conversion from legacy password hashes using MD5 to newer algorithms is not supported anymore.

Up to TYPO3v8 there was a scheduler task you could use to upgrade the password hashes. This was removed with TYPO3v9 so you should first upgrade to TYPO3v8, upgrade the password hashes and then continue to upgrade to newer TYPO3 versions:

If there are still clear-text or simple md5 stored passwords, they can be found by searching the database field password of tables fe_users and be_users for entries not starting with $. If there are still entries like that, an administrator should convert them to simple md5 salted hashes by using the convert bulk update scheduler task in a core version prior to v9, before upgrading the system to v9.
