Laravel Password & Password_Confirmation Validation

Question

I\'ve been using this in order to edit the User Account Info:

$this->validate($request, [
    \'password\' => \'min:6\',
    \'password_confirmation\'          


        

Answer 1

try confirmed and without password_confirmation rule:

$this->validate($request, [
        'name' => 'required|min:3|max:50',
        'email' => 'email',
        'vat_number' => 'max:13',
        'password' => 'confirmed|min:6',
    ]);

Answer 2

I have used in this way.. Working fine!

 $inputs = request()->validate([
        'name' => 'required | min:6 | max: 20',
        'email' => 'required',
        'password' => 'required| min:4| max:7 |confirmed',
        'password_confirmation' => 'required| min:4'
  ]);

Answer 3

Try doing it this way, it worked for me:

$this->validate($request, [
'name' => 'required|min:3|max:50',
'email' => 'email',
'vat_number' => 'max:13',
'password' => 'min:6|required_with:password_confirmation|same:password_confirmation',
'password_confirmation' => 'min:6'
]);`

Seems like the rule always has the validation on the first input among the pair...

Answer 4

Try this:

'password' => 'required|min:6|confirmed',
'password_confirmation' => 'required|min:6'

Answer 5

You can use the confirmed validation rule.

$this->validate($request, [
    'name' => 'required|min:3|max:50',
    'email' => 'email',
    'vat_number' => 'max:13',
    'password' => 'required|confirmed|min:6',
]);

Answer 6

It should be enough to do:

$this->validate($request, [
    'password' => 'sometimes,min:6,confirmed,required_with:password_confirmed',
]);

Make password optional, but if present requires a password_confirmation that matches, also make password required only if password_confirmed is present
