Decode the Bcrypt encoded password in Spring Security to deactivate user account

I am working on web application project in Spring Hibernate MVC. I am storing encoded passwords in a database using Bcrypt algorithm in Spring security.

Now I want to get that encoded password to be decoded to deactivate a use account where in I am giving user email and password to verify before user deactivate the account. I have a problem in getting the decoded password.

Can anyone help me to get out of it or any alternate solution for my requirement?

Solution

  • The problem is solved by using below code: 

    BCryptPasswordEncoder encoder = new BCryptPasswordEncoder();  
encoder.matches(password, user.getPassword());

    password - from form(JSP)
    user.getPassword() - from database

    BCryptPasswordEncoder encoder = new BCryptPasswordEncoder();
if(email.equalsIgnoreCase(user.getEmail()) && encoder.matches(password, user.getPassword())) {
    userService.deactivateUserByID(user.getId());
    redirectAttributes.addFlashAttribute("successmsg", "Your account has been deactivated successfully.");
    model.setViewName("redirect:/logout");
}else{
    redirectAttributes.addFlashAttribute("errormsg", "Email or Password is incorrect");
    model.setViewName("redirect:/app/profile/deactivate");
}
