How to create a laravel hashed password

Question

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

Answer 1

Hashing A Password Using Bcrypt in Laravel:

$password = Hash::make('yourpassword');

This will create a hashed password. You may use it in your controller or even in a model, for example, if a user submits a password using a form to your controller using POST method then you may hash it using something like this:

$password = Input::get('passwordformfield'); // password is form field
$hashed = Hash::make($password);

Here, $hashed will contain the hashed password. Basically, you'll do it when creating/registering a new user, so, for example, if a user submits details such as, name, email, username and password etc using a form, then before you insert the data into database, you'll hash the password after validating the data. For more information, read the documentation.

Update:

$password = 'JohnDoe';
$hashedPassword = Hash::make($password);
echo $hashedPassword; // $2y$10$jSAr/RwmjhwioDlJErOk9OQEO7huLz9O6Iuf/udyGbHPiTNuB3Iuy

So, you'll insert the $hashedPassword into database. Hope, it's clear now and if still you are confused then i suggest you to read some tutorials, watch some screen casts on laracasts.com and tutsplus.com and also read a book on Laravel, this is a free ebook, you may download it.

Update: Since OP wants to manually encrypt password using Laravel Hash without any class or form so this is an alternative way using artisan tinker from command prompt:

1. Go to your command prompt/terminal
2. Navigate to the Laravel installation (your project's root directory)
3. Use cd <directory name> and press enter from command prompt/terminal
4. Then write php artisan tinker and press enter
5. Then write echo Hash::make('somestring');
6. You'll get a hashed password on the console, copy it and then do whatever you want to do.

Update (Laravel 5.x):

// Also one can use bcrypt
$password = bcrypt('JohnDoe');

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

Answer 3

I know your pain bro. You just need the password Hash to replace the password column field in the database. You can get it easily from laravel tinker. On any laravel project command line type:

❯ php artisan tinker
Psy Shell v0.9.12 (PHP 7.4.27 — cli) by Justin Hileman
>>> echo Hash::make('123456');
$2y$10$JHK.2MTc9ORMmmlqoF.gg.SwDLnevVSj1oreHParu5PvcPEDOWqe6

then copy the hashed pass for your use case.

Answer 4

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

Answer 5

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

Answer 6

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 
}

Answer 7

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 :)

Answer 8

You can use the following:

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

You can find more information: here

Answer 9

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Hash;

You can use to hashing password => Hash::make('yourpassword');

You can use checking password => Hash::check($password, $user->password);

Answer 10

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;
}

Answer 11

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');

Answer 12

Create a function

    
    public function bcryptGenerator($password)
    {
        return \bcrypt($password);
    }

Call the function

bcryptGenerator(123456);
// password = 123456

Answer 13

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 :)

Answer 14

 $data->password = Hash::make(($request->password));  //Password 
  Encripted  

//Login code

if ($data = AddEmployee::where('name', $request->name)->first()) {
        $pass = Hash::check($request->password, $data->password);
        if ($pass) {
            echo "sucess";
        } else {
            echo "Password Not Valid";
        }
    } else {
        echo "Username Not Valid" . "<br>";
    }

Answer 15

In the Controller which is used to insert the password, just use 'use Hash;'.

Answer 16

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.
