A tip I learned recently: if you see a database with a simple hash with no salt(md5, sha256…) like this, and you want to migrate to a secure password hashing function (bcrypt, argon2…) you don't need to wait for the users to re-login: simply do bcrypt(md5(password)) immediately, and delete the old hashes, and you get higher security.
