Invalid Password when trying to log in

Hello all…

I've been trying to figure out why I always get an “Invalid Password” error after following some basic examples.

I have a “users” database table with the following columns:

“username varchar(200) utf8mb4_general_ci”
“password varchar(40) utf8mb4_general_ci”

I created a simple account with the following code:

$this->database->table('users')->insert([
                'username' => 'newadmin',
                'password' => \Nette\Security\Passwords::hash('test'),
]);

Back in the database I now have an expected username of ‘newadmin’ and a password of ‘$2y$10$gs4.oUVd4IgsFIdsoYplAOeAbomzS8ba9’

My authenticator is as follows:

declare(strict_types=1);

namespace App\Auth;

use Nette;

class TestAuth implements Nette\Security\IAuthenticator
{
    private $database;

    public function __construct(Nette\Database\Context $database)
    {
        $this->database = $database;
    }

    public function authenticate(array $credentials)
    {
        list($username, $password) = $credentials;
        $row = $this->database->table('users')
            ->where('username', $username)->fetch();

        if (!$row) {
            throw new Nette\Security\AuthenticationException('User not found.');
        }

        if (!Nette\Security\Passwords::verify($password, $row->password)) {
            throw new Nette\Security\AuthenticationException('Invalid password.');
        }

        return new Nette\Security\Identity($row->id, $row->role, ['username' => $row->username]);
    }
}

Now when I attempt to sign/log in with the following code I get the “invalid password” issue. It detects usernames correctly, but never accepts the correct password.

	$user = $this->getUser();
	// correct info sent via the form
	$user->login($values->name, $values->password);

Any advice as to what I'm doing wrong?

Probably your hash not fit into database. You have 40 chars long column, but hash() returns 60 chars.

Wow, as simple as that. I raised it to 100 and it worked fine. Is 100 overkill?

Thanks your speedy solution!

From password_hash() docs: Therefore, it is recommended to store the result in a database column that can expand beyond 60 characters (255 characters would be a good choice).
