Generating Laravel Password using php

Question

I am using PHP to generate a laravel hash password & insert it into the database using mysql query for my laravel application. I am using PASSWORD_BCRYPT algorithm for password generation. Password is generated successfully , but when I go to my laravel application & login with that password, I am unable to login. It gives an error.

Here is the code to generate the password:

$password = password_hash($databaseData['DB_PASSWORD'], PASSWORD_BCRYPT, ['cost' => 10]);

Please always include error messages if you have one when asking questions. If you look in your DB is the hash that was generated the same as what is stored? — user3783243, Dec 27 '18 at 05:47

From version 5.0, Laravel uses the function bcrypt() to hash passwords, you should use this.

You can call the make method through the Hash facade like so:

Hash::make('myPassword');

Or choose to use the normal bcrypt() function like so:

bcrypt('myPassword');

You can then verify the password like this:

if (Hash::check('passwordInput', $hash)) {
    // password matched hash
}

There's more information about hashing in Laravel 5.7 here.
