[php] How to create a laravel hashed password

I am trying to create an hashed password for Laravel. Now someone told me to use Laravel hash helper but I can't seem to find it or I'm looking in the wrong direction.

How do I create a laravel hashed password? And where?

Edit: I know what the code is but I don't know where and how to use it so it gives me back the hashed password. If I get the hashed password then I can manually insert it into the database

Laravel 5 uses bcrypt. So, you can do this as well.

$hashedpassword = bcrypt('plaintextpassword');

output of which you can save to your database table's password field.

Fn Ref: bcrypt

Compare password in laravel and lumen:

This may be possible that bcrypt function does not work with php7 then you can use below code in laravel and lumen as per your requirements:

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Hash;

$test = app('hash')->make("test");
if (Hash::check('test', $test)) {
   echo "matched";
} else {
   echo "no matched";
}

I hope, this help will make you happy :)

Here is the solution:

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Hash;    
$password = request('password'); // get the value of password field
$hashed = Hash::make($password); // encrypt the password

N.B: Use 1st line code at the very beginning in your controller. Last but not the least, use the rest two lines of code inside the function of your controller where you want to manipulate with data after the from is submitted. Happy coding :)

The Laravel Hash facade provides secure Bcrypt hashing for storing user passwords.

Basic usage required two things:

First include the Facade in your file

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Hash;

and use Make Method to generate password.

$hashedPassword = Hash::make($request->newPassword);

and when you want to match the Hashed string you can use the below code:

Hash::check($request->newPasswordAtLogin, $hashedPassword)

You can learn more with the Laravel document link below for Hashing: https://laravel.com/docs/5.5/hashing

You can use the following:

$hashed_password = Hash::make('Your Unhashed Password');

You can find more information: here

In the BcryptHasher.php you can find the hash code:

public function make($value, array $options = array())
{
    $cost = isset($options['rounds']) ? $options['rounds'] : $this->rounds;

    $hash = password_hash($value, PASSWORD_BCRYPT, array('cost' => $cost));

            $hash = password_hash($value, PASSWORD_BCRYPT, array('cost' => $cost));
            echo $value.' '.PASSWORD_BCRYPT.' '.$cost.' ';
            echo $hash;die();
    if ($hash === false)
    {
        throw new RuntimeException("Bcrypt hashing not supported.");
    }

    return $hash;
}

To store password in database, make hash of password and then save.

$password = Input::get('password_from_user'); 
$hashed = Hash::make($password); // save $hashed value

To verify password, get password stored of account from database

// $user is database object
// $inputs is Input from user
if( \Illuminate\Support\Facades\Hash::check( $inputs['password'], $user['password']) == false) {
  // Password is not matching 
} else {
  // Password is matching 
}

ok, this is a extract from the make function in hash.php

    $work = str_pad(8, 2, '0', STR_PAD_LEFT);

    // Bcrypt expects the salt to be 22 base64 encoded characters including
    // dots and slashes. We will get rid of the plus signs included in the
    // base64 data and replace them with dots.
    if (function_exists('openssl_random_pseudo_bytes'))
    {
        $salt = openssl_random_pseudo_bytes(16);
    }
    else
    {
        $salt = Str::random(40);
    }

    $salt = substr(strtr(base64_encode($salt), '+', '.'), 0 , 22);

    echo crypt('yourpassword', '$2a$'.$work.'$'.$salt);

Just copy/paste it into a php file and run it.

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Hash;
if(Hash::check($plain-text,$hashed-text))
    {
       return true;
    }
    else
    {
        return false;
    }

eg- $plain-text = 'text'; $hashed-text=Hash::make('text');

If you want to understand how excatly laravel works you can review the complete class on Github: https://github.com/illuminate/hashing/blob/master/BcryptHasher.php

But basically there are Three PHP methods involved on that:

$pasword = 'user-password';
// To create a valid password out of laravel Try out!
$cost=10; // Default cost
$password = password_hash($pasword, PASSWORD_BCRYPT, ['cost' => $cost]);

// To validate the password you can use
$hash = '$2y$10$NhRNj6QF.Bo6ePSRsClYD.4zHFyoQr/WOdcESjIuRsluN1DvzqSHm';

if (password_verify($pasword, $hash)) {
   echo 'Password is valid!';
} else {
   echo 'Invalid password.';
}

//Finally if you have a $hash but you want to know the information about that hash. 
print_r( password_get_info( $password_hash ));

The hashed password is same as laravel 5.x bcrypt password. No need to give salt and cost, it will take its default values.

Those methods has been implemented in the laravel class, but if you want to learn more please review the official documentation: http://php.net/manual/en/function.password-hash.php
