I am working on laravel 5 eCommerce web portal.
I am having an issue when the user updates the password using the ready made scripts.
The issue is that I can send the link to the customer perfectly without any issue and the customer can change his password also. But when logged out and re-logging in, I get the error as Invalid credentials.
In my routes.php, I have this:
Route::controllers([
'auth' => 'Auth\AuthController',
'password' => 'Auth\PasswordController',
]);
This is the login page:
<form class="form-horizontal" role="form" method="POST" action="{{ url('/login') }}">
<input type="hidden" name="_token" value="{{ csrf_token() }}">
<div class="form-group">
<label class="col-md-4 control-label">E-Mail Address</label>
<div class="col-md-6">
<input type="email" class="form-control" name="email" value="{{ old('email') }}">
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<label class="col-md-4 control-label">Password</label>
<div class="col-md-6">
<input type="password" class="form-control" name="password">
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-md-4"></div>
<div class="col-md-4">
<a href="{{url('/password/email')}}">Forgot Password</a>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="col-md-6 col-md-offset-4">
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary btn-block">Login</button>
</div>
</div>
</form>
When the login button is clicked on the login form page, the postLogin method is called. Here's the code
public function postLogin( Request $request ) {
$this->validate( $request, [
'email' => ['required', 'exists:users,email,role,customer'],
'password' => 'required'
]);
$credentials = $request->only('email', 'password');
if ( \Auth::attempt($credentials) ) {
\Session::flash('logged_in', 'You have successfully logged in.');
return redirect('/');
}
return redirect('/login')->withInput($request->all())->withErrors(['email' => 'Invalid Email Address Or Password']);
}
I just realize that login is not checking for the hash and hence returning false, on doing dd(\Hash::check($request->password, $user->password)), after updating the password and re-logging in. What could be the issue with this ?
Where have I made mistake ? Kindly guide me.
Thanks in advance.
P.S.: I am using the defaults only to update the password, rest all, I have made the controllers and models which are all working fine without any issue.
