I used a plugin called WP Import to import a mass amount of users to my website. I now want to be able for them to log in using those accounts. How am I able to send them their passwords or get them to login to their account that we created for them?

You shouldn’t have to send them passwords. That’s a bad idea.
Instead, make sure your web server has email setup properly and your user accounts have the correct email addresses. Then all you’ll have to do is send them the link to the Forgot Password
link provided by WordPress by default. It looks like this: http://example.com/wp-login.php?action=lostpassword
.
Then from that page they’ll be able to reset their passwords using their own email address.
Alternatively, you may use a plugin like Bulk Password Reset
or Emergency Password Reset
to reset the passwords and send the password reset link to your users.
Whichever method you follow, you must make sure your web server can send email to your users properly.
