How to compare a string password with laravel Encrypted Password
2 ways:
1.
$hashedPassword = User::find(1)->password;if (Hash::check('plain-text-password', $hashedPassword)) { // The passwords match...}$hashedPassword = User::find(1)->password;if (Hash::make('plain-text-password') === $hashedPassword) { // The passwords match...}However, as the official documentation says, and as a pro-DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) approach, if you are using the LoginController included with Laravel, you will probably not need to use these 2 ways directly, as it automatically does the first way already.
Ref: https://laravel.com/docs/5.4/hashing
IMPORTANT UPDATE
The second way posted here does not work because Laravel uses bcrypt, which generates random a salt on each hash; making each hash different from the original hashed password in the the database. Use the first way instead. You may also read Where are laravel password salts stored?.
Hash::check is the best method to do it.
if(Hash::check('plain password', 'encrypted password')){ //enter your code}
