That is also a good suggestion, but unfortunately there are a couple of technical challenges in developing it. For everyone's security, we store your providers' password using a one-way encryption algorithm in the database... so we aren't able to actually get the original password back to export it.
I was thinking that we could perhaps export the encrypted version of the password, but the problem is that when we go to import that value, our member save routine will try to encrypt that the value it is given (which is obviously incorrect in this specific scenario).
I will have a look at doing this, but it is an area where security is our number one concern, so if there is any risk I will probably err on the side of caution.
