Trying to understand password_verify PHP

Question

I am trying to understand how password_verify work to use it for resetting the password. I would\'ve thought this would\'ve worked, but the hashed don\'t seem to match?

Answer 1

Every hash generated using password_hash() is salted with a different salt, so $sHash1, $sHash2 and $sHash3 will all be different

password_verify() is used to compare a plaintext password against a hashed password, not two hashes with each other; use password_verify() to compare $sUniqueCode with any of the hashes that you have generated

if (password_verify($sUniqueCode, $sHash1)) { ... }

EDIT

Rather than sending a password hash through email, which isn't useful in any way, send a nonce link for initial account access, or new password generation
