i'm not sure what the expected result would be in this case. The logins should be updated, but at that point, the timestamps are no longer accurate.
We could use new timestamps from the time of import perhaps? Or try and get the last-modified time from the file itself? Or just leave the possibly-inacurate timestamps from the initial import as-is.
