> Is there a way to update a user's password from an hashed string compatible with 5.6 and 5.7

Not without hacking.

If you're administering a MySQL installation, users will need to set their passwords for 5.7.6 & later.

If you're using mysql.user passwords to authenticate app users, stop! That's not what they're for!
