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

You have to create a function to update your database passwords to encrypted passwords first.

Something like this on web.php, and visit /password-updator on browser

Route::get('/password_updator', function() {
 $allusers = \DB::table('users')->get();
 foreach($users as $user) {
  $user->password = bcrypt($user->password);
  $user->save();
}
});

Make sure yo backup your database before you proceed!

Or you create a new column called password_hashed first onn users table and update it to experiment.
