I don't think you need to hash the password before using Auth::attempt()

Thanks for the reply Sir. I tried also to remove it by using this code

  $credentials = [
        'email' => Input::get('email'),
        'password' => Input::get('password')
 ];

if(Auth::attempt($credentials)) {
			 return 'success';
}else {
			 return 'auth failed';
}

but it doesn't fixed the error.

Make sure that your password column on your users table is long enough, it's possible the passwords are getting cut off. See this topic: http://laravel.io/forum/04-17-2014-hashcheck-nor-hashattempt-m...

After making your column long enough you'll need to re-register your users (or manually update their password hash).

My password has a limit of 255 characters, yes I tried to delete and re-register my user but the error is still there.

I had the same problem, but i couldn't find a solution, instead i ran the query to check for credentials, and then i forced login.

		$auth = User::where('Username', '=', Input::get('username'))->where('Password', '=', Hash::make(Input::get('password')))->first();
		if($auth){
			Auth::login($auth);
			}
			return Redirect::intended('home');
		}

Thanks for the tips but when I tried to use your code

$auth = User::where('email', '=', Input::get('email'))->where('Password', '=', Hash::make(Input::get('password')))->first();
        if($auth){
            Auth::login($auth);
            
            return Redirect::intended('submit');
		}else {
			 return 'auth failed';
		}

still I am receiving auth failed

Solution

Nevermind, I see the problem, the problem is with your registration. You're not storing the password in a hashed form, you're hashing the password to validate it (it should be validated in its original form) and then hashed for storage.

$data = array(
	'email'           => Input::get('email'),
	'firstname'       => Input::get('firstname'),
	'lastname'        => Input::get('lastname'),
	'password'        => Hash::make($password)
);

Should be:

$data = array(
	'email'           => Input::get('email'),
	'firstname'       => Input::get('firstname'),
	'lastname'        => Input::get('lastname'),
	'password'        => Input::get('password')
);

And this:

$user = new User;
$user->firstname       = Input::get('firstname');
$user->lastname        = Input::get('lastname');
$user->email           = Input::get('email');
$user->password        = Input::get('password');
$user->save();

Should be:

$user = new User;
$user->firstname       = Input::get('firstname');
$user->lastname        = Input::get('lastname');
$user->email           = Input::get('email');
$user->password        = Hash::make(Input::get('password'));
$user->save();

Are you absolutely sure that the password is correct? Do the following:

echo Hash::make('password-here');

Then compare the result against the hash stored in your database, see if they match.

Thank you very much! This suggestion gave me an idea how to use the Hash::make function. The error is fixed by hashing the password before storing it into database and do the basic validation on my controller. I learn a lot today. Thanks again. :)
