How do I check if Bcrypt password is correct?
Use the attempt() method:
if (Auth::attempt(['email' => $email, 'password' => $password]))The
attemptmethod accepts an array of key/value pairs as its first argument. The values in the array will be used to find the user in your database table.

Under the hood attempt() uses password_verify() method to check password.
You could also use the check method of the Hash Facade
if (Hash::check($request->password, $user->password)) { // The passwords match...}
