laravel passport custom password column

Question

How can I use Laravel\'s Passport package to authenticate a different password column.

If i want to authenticate from a different \'username\' column, it can be done

Answer 1

There's a method the Passport/Bridge asks for called validateForPassportPasswordGrant($password) that you can override in your user model, if you don't override this it will look for a password column in your user table. I'm not entirely sure why they haven't configured it to use Authenticatable method getAuthPassword...

Answer 2

Adding this validateForPassportPasswordGrant method to User model did the job for me ("PasswMd" - custom column name):

public function validateForPassportPasswordGrant($password)
{
    return Hash::check($password, $this->PasswMd);
}
