Yii2 - validate password (Hash is invalid error)

问题:

I am trying to validate old user password, in order for him to able to change password, but at the moment I am getting Hash is invalid error.

This is validation rule:

['password_old', function($attribute){
                if(!$this->validatePassword($this->{$attribute}))
                    $this->addError($attribute, 'Please Enter Your Old Password');
            }],

validatePassword method:

    public function validatePassword($password){
            return Yii::$app->getSecurity()->validatePassword($this->salt . $password, $this->password);
        }

Form used for changing the password:

$form = ActiveForm::begin(
            [
                'enableAjaxValidation' => true,
                'action'               => 'user/changepassword',
                'id'                   => 'changePassword'
            ]
        );


    echo $form->field($model, 'password_old')->passwordInput( ['autocomplete' => 'off'] );
    echo $form->field($model, 'password')->passwordInput(['autocomplete' => 'off'])->label('New Password');
    echo $form->field($model, 'password_confirm')->passwordInput(['autocomplete' => 'off']);

Another reason the Hash is invalid error occurs if when you pass a null as the $hash to the Yii::$app->getSecurity()->validatePassword method.

I suggest you do a check like this in your code

public function validatePassword($password){
        if(is_null($this->password)) 
            return false;
        return Yii::$app->getSecurity()->validatePassword($this->salt . $password, $this->password);
    }

I'm solved the problem, when change value of password column in DB from varchar(128) to varchar(255) and registerd again.

回答3:

"Hash is invalid error" because your password is not correct format.

Why?

• When you call validatePassword in a validate rule, $this->password is not password stored in database, It is new password - recently submit from your form. To solve problems, you can refer LoginForm class in yii2-basic-app or yii-advanced-app.

Suggestions:

• "Salt" is not necessary because it was included automatically in function \Yii::$app->security->generatePasswordHash (PHP 5>= 5.5.0 password_hash)

I also had this problem and resolved.

The reason is that I used to use the sha1 algorithm before, and after converting it to bcrypt (Yii::$app->security->generatePasswordHash), I encountered this problem.

My previous password was created with the sha1 algorithm and was in the database. When I changed the code to the new algorithm and wanted to login, I was wrong.

If you reset the previous password with the new algorithm, the problem is resolved.

You will get this error when the compared password in the database cannot be a hash value! I get this error when the field value
" $2y$13$TvlDZ5RgBL7Cr1LR9JovfOVEyMwpD6x1dy9sYlngzUIKeuEaqqiry"(first character is a space). I delete the space character, then it worked.
