Okta APIs will **not** return a user’s password back, so I don’t see anyway to export this data so you can import the users into second org.

Have you looked into instead setting up an [Org2Org connection](https://help.okta.com/en-us/Content/Topics/Provisioning/org2org/org2org-integrate.htm) between the two orgs so users can start accessing apps in the second/new org?

If you go the Org2Org route and you want to detach the users from the original org down the line so they can set a new password in the new Org (which there will be no avoiding), you can [unlink them from their Idp](https://developer.okta.com/docs/reference/api/idps/#unlink-user-from-idp) and reset their password, similar to whats discussed in [this thread](https://devforum.okta.com/t/can-a-social-idp-user-become-an-email-password-user/23035).
