How to verify an hashed password

Question

I am using the password_hash() function.

Now it works to hash the password, but how do I verify it?

Answer 1

Well the function for this option is called: password_verify.

How it does work is this;

<?php
$password = "[PASS]"; //Password user fill in.
$hash= "[HASH]"; //The hashed password that you saved.
$checkPass = password_verify($password, $hash); //This returns a boolean; true or false
if ($checkPass == true)
{
  echo 'Password is good!';
}
else
{
  echo 'Password is wrong!';
}
?>
