Is there a way to import users from another wordpress site?

Both sites are new. I just don't want to go through the trouble of adding the same users profile information and password.

I think you have two options (third if you find any plugins).

1. I think if you export data from one WP, the users are also copied. The drawback is that you have to import all the content as well.

2. The second option is to export the users from MySQL using PHPMyAdmin. Just export the user table. If you want to include privilidges as well, you have to export wp_usermeta as well.
