[MM3-users] Dump/restore users (with passwords) via API

We are trying to dump/restore users using API calls and it seems that API allows us to dump password hashes (a good thing), but then API does not allow to insert users back using saved password hashes - only cleartext passwords. Aside from create_user is there any other way to create users/change their password?
