I saved a publish profile into an .xml along wit all the login info. But when i import this XML to another computer and try to publish, it'll say that my password is incorrect.
What can I do to have the password correctly saved into the publish profile and compatible with other computer?

Publish profile files are named <profilename>. pubxml and are located in the PublishProfiles folder. The PublishProfiles folder is under Properties in a C# web application project, under My Project in a VB web application project, or under App_Data in a web site project.
A publish profile is just an MSBuild file. When you pass in PublishProfile and DeployOnBuild=true, then the publish profile is Imported into the build/publish process. It will supply the publish properties needed to perform the publish.
A publish profile is a file that contains information and settings that Visual Studio uses to deploy applications and services to Azure. In the Azure portal, open the Azure App Service. Go to Get publish profile and save the profile locally.
My guess is that the program purposely obfuscates the passwords using the current PC's "salt" and generates a unique hash. Thus, preventing the passwords from being stolen via the profile publish function.

As mentioned by user1785999, you can save the password in plain text, just add the password element to your .pubxml file:
<UserName>YourName</UserName>
<Password>YourPassword</Password>
