That's correct, modern Koha uses bcrypt.

I've made a patch to Vufind's Koha driver that allows it to recognize
both MD5 and bcrypt password hashes.

https://github.com/gmcharlt/vufind/commit/bbb6e89717627412bb516b0ea84160f55b183df2

Please note that this patch is not tested at all, but hopefully it
should at least give you the idea.  If you try it, I would appreciate
feedback on whether it works.

Regards,

Galen
