Laravel password encryption

Question

I'm bringing a web application from PHP core to Laravel 4. In the current application passwords are encrypted with phpass. Encrypted passwords of phpass are compatible with the encryption of laravel? or I have to implement phpass on laravel?

Thanks.

You'll have to replace the default hasher, which uses the Bcrypt hashing algorithm.

Here's an example repository which shows how to do it - in his case he's replaced it with a simple MD5, but you can modify it to use whatever algorithm you like.
