I see what you did there, but I assume you mean "prefix the stored hash with the algorithm that was used", right?

I still don't know how this would help with a migration, though. They would still need to run both auth systems in parallel until every single user has logged in again - or force everyone to create a new password. Right?

Assuming you get get access to the hashed passwords the other party used as part of the migration data, and you know what hash was used for them, then there's nothing to stop you using them yourself.

But in reality, I doubt they would release either of those things.
