Bulk import Users?
 
I have an xls document with a column for user names and one for passwords. How can I upload this in bulk to my forum?

Thank you!

You will at least need an email address for each user also.

Once you have that, export your .XLS to a CSV (Comma Seperated Values) file, and use the ImpEx Textfile importer.

Any way I can get by without an email address?

I'm sorry, but I am very inexperienced with this. Is there any easy alternative?

No, vBulletin requires an email address for each user.

Is that required for authentication?

No, email addresses are not needed for user authentication.

I'm not an impex expert but you may be able to get away with adding a new column to your spreadsheet for emails and using a generic email addy for everyone. user@yourforum.com

edit: I think impex needs email addresses because users will need to reset their passwords IF the password was encrypted in the source system. I dont think you have this issue with unencrypted / hashed passwords though.
