When users login fields are encrypted, login fails

Hi

LOVE this package, thank you!

I have a problem where i would like to encrypt my registered users. They are no longer able to login as the built in Laravel Authentication doesn't use whereEncrypted

Please will let me know how to get around this?

Thanks!

For laravel 5.x to 7.x, you can create postLogin function to override the logic.

For laravel 8.x, you need to create custom login controller to override the logic.

Hi Elgibor,

I fully agree with Roarkmccolgan, I love your package too, just implemented it in Laravel 8.x. However, I am also struggling with achieving user authentications with encrypted email addresses.

Please be so kind to share the code for the custom LoginController function to make this work.

Many thanks in advance!

@elgibor-solution please can you share a solution for this?

@LaravelLover069 @constantinosergiou can create a custom rule to retrieve the user's data with their email and check the password with hash::check

Was this issue ever solved?

$user = User::whereEncrypted('email', $credentials['email'])->first();
if (!empty($user) && Hash::check($credentials['password'], $user->password)) {
       $this->guard()->login($user, $request->has('remember'));
       return $this->sendLoginResponse($request);
}

Or

$user = User::whereEncrypted('email', $credentials['email'])->first();
if (!empty($user) && Hash::check($credentials['password'], $user->password)) {
       Auth::login($user, $request->has('remember'));
      return $this->sendLoginResponse($request);
}

Would work for encrypted emails. Also i left the original non encrypted login for legacy support for none encrypted emails Happy coding!!!!!!!! 😎😎😎

Here you go

$user = User::whereEncrypted('email', $credentials['email'])->first();
if (!empty($user) && Hash::check($credentials['password'], $user->password)) {
       $this->guard()->login($user, $request->has('remember'));
       return $this->sendLoginResponse($request);
}

Or

$user = User::whereEncrypted('email', $credentials['email'])->first();
if (!empty($user) && Hash::check($credentials['password'], $user->password)) {
       Auth::login($user, $request->has('remember'));
      return $this->sendLoginResponse($request);
}
