https://stackoverflow.com/questions/38518543/check-whether-password-is-correct-or-not-in-laravel

There are couple of ways:

Out of the container

$user = User::find($id);
$hasher = app('hash');
if ($hasher->check('passwordToCheck', $user->password)) {
    // Success
}

Using the Facade

$user = User::find($id);
if (Hash::check('passwordToCheck', $user->password)) {
    // Success
}
