Converting plain password in database to Laravel encrypted password

Question

I have a table called \"users\" where I have username and password from my users.

The passwords are in plain text. Now I\'ve created a new site with Laravel 6.0 and Auth

Answer 1

The Laravel Hash facade provides secure Bcrypt and Argon2 hashing for storing user passwords.

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

The bcrypt function hashes the given value using Bcrypt. You may use it as an alternative to the Hash facade:

$password = bcrypt('plain-text-password');

How can I get the "salt" from my Auth and also a tools to get the encrypted password from my plain password and "salt".

Verifying A Password Against A Hash

The check method allows you to verify that a given plain-text string corresponds to a given hash.

if (Hash::check('plain-text-password', $hashedPassword)) {
    // The passwords match...
}

Update

You can use Command or make a route to change "plain-text" password for existing customers.

Create command app/Console/Commands/ChangePassword.php

password)) {
                $user->password = Hash::make($user->password);
                $user->save();
            }
        }

        $this->info('Done..');
    }
}

Usage :

php artisan change-password

After run command, you can try login via Auth::routes() routes.

Or Manually Authenticating Users

    // Authentication passed...
}
