# Does importing source migrate customer data and passwords?

Importing source or a GitHub repository moves code, not customer records, identities, passwords, payment history or service credentials. Uvilno requires an authorized migration plan for those systems. Preserve ownership, consent and field mappings, and test a sample before changing an application's backend or account flow.

Inventory each system of record and the permitted export format. Password and OAuth identity migration can have special constraints, and a frontend cannot safely reconstruct those credentials. Keep migration administration separate from ordinary visitor access.

Map data types and references before import, preserve the original identifiers where required and validate record counts. Plan a cutover and rollback window, including how writes are handled while both systems exist. Do not disguise copied demonstration rows as a completed customer migration.

## What to verify

| Check | Published behavior | Verification |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Code | Repository import transports supported frontend source. | Build and inspect the imported routes. |
| Data | Private records require explicit authorized migration. | Compare typed fields, references and ownership. |
| Identity | Passwords and OAuth sessions are not ordinary source files. | Review the supported identity migration process. |

## Steps

1. Inventory services and data owners.
2. Map a small disposable record set.
3. Plan cutover, access checks and rollback.

## Editable starting brief

Plan a migration assessment from my current app without copying production data. Identify source files, typed collections, references, account providers, payments and hosting dependencies separately. Use fictional sample records to test field mappings, preserve ownership rules and explain unsupported migration steps before generating any replacement application.
