Answer 1

As Hiren has mentioned you can use the default registered hasher as that is passed to the specific UserProvider used. The default is Illuminate\Hashing\BcryptHasher.

You can use it a couple of ways:

1. Out of the container

$user = User::find($id);
$hasher = app('hash');
if ($hasher->check('passwordToCheck', $user->password)) {
    // Success
}

2. Using the Facade

$user = User::find($id);
if (Hash::check('passwordToCheck', $user->password)) {
    // Success
}

3. Out of interest using the generic php function password_verify also works. However that works because the default hashing algorithm it uses is bcrypt.

if (password_verify('passwordToCheck', $user->password)) {
    // Success
}
