Hash::check return false

posted 10 years ago

Hi laravel's community,

I have been around a problem all day long. I am working on adding a change-password feature on user's account but when I try to check if the password matches it always return false ..

Password is good, I can login through Auth:attempt with those log, I can't get why..

     if (Hash::check($test['pw'], $user->password))
        {
            die('work');
        }

$user is an instance of the Auth::user() return value. $test['pw'] is from Input::all()

I have also checked to generate an hash with hash::make('admin') and replace with $user->password, it returns true this time. but not with the user's model password property..

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks in advance

Is the password column in your database big enough? It needs to be at least 60 characters, otherwise it is not able to store the whole hash.

Check if output from "$user->getAuthPassword(); " matches the password in the database. This could be your issue, if you have edited or created your own User Model.

I have same issue. It always returns null. I'm using my own model for user.

if(Hash::check($data -> password, $user -> pwd_hash))

checking like this. Also my pwd_hash field is more than 60 characters in database column. Please help anyone.
