This is route in web.php

Route::post('/changePassword','HomeController@changePassword')->name('changePassword');

Controller Method

public function changePassword(Request $request){

        if (!(Hash::check($request->get('current-password'), Auth::user()->password))) {
            // The passwords matches
            return redirect()->back()->with("error","Your current password does not matches with the password you provided. Please try again.");
        }

        if(strcmp($request->get('current-password'), $request->get('new-password')) == 0){
            //Current password and new password are same
            return redirect()->back()->with("error","New Password cannot be same as your current password. Please choose a different password.");
        }

        $validatedData = $request->validate([
            'current-password' => 'required',
            'new-password' => 'required|string|min:6|confirmed',
        ]);

        //Change Password
        $user = Auth::user();
        $user->password = bcrypt($request->get('new-password'));
        $user->save();

        return redirect()->back()->with("success","Password changed successfully !");
