Validate current password using Hash::check method
In this example we will validate the current password using the Hash::check() method this method takes 2 params the first is the current password provided by the user and the second is the stored password to compare with.
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Hash;
public function auth(Request $request)
{
$request->validate([
'email' => ['required', 'email'],
'current_password' => ['required'],
]);
$user = User::where('email', $request->email)->first();
if (Hash::check($request->current_password, $user->password)) {
//code
}
}
Validate current password using a rule
In this example we will validate the current password using the rule 'current_password' this rule checks that the current password provided by the user matches the authenticated user's password.
$request->validate([
'current_password' => ['required', 'current_password']
]);
