For compare hashed password with the plain text password string you can use the PHP password verify  if password verify  1234567    crypt password string            in case if   crypt password string  actually hides  1234567

Short answer is that you don t  decrypt  the password  because it s not encrypted - it s hashed    The long answer is that you shouldn t send the user their password by email  or any other way  If the user has forgotten their password  you should send them a password reset email  and allow them to change their password on your website   Laravel has most of this functionality built in  see the Laravel documentation - I m not going to replicate it all here  Also available for versions 4 2 and 5 0 of Laravel    For further reading  check out this  blogoverflow  post  Why passwords should be hashed
