Laravel 5 db:seed the username and password, but not authenticating on login - authentication

Question

I have implemented Database seeder to seed in user (default) credentials.
Admin::create(['name' => 'Super Admin', 'email' => 'admin#demo.in', 'password' => bcrypt('password') ]);
After running seed, I got success message. But when I try to make login, it says your credential are not matching. Is there any particular reason for this. Can't we seed user data with bcrypt??

Answer 1

If we talk about the default AuthController of Laravel 5 obviously no you can't:
protected function create(array $data)
{
return User::create([
'name' => $data['name'],
'email' => $data['email'],
'password' => bcrypt($data['password']),
]);
}
If you have a look at the create() function you can see that the data submitted as password is automatically bcrypted. So if you bcrypt the password too it is bcrypted a second time.

Answer 2

Alright, some key points :
If you're using the User model for seeding, make sure that you'r not
hashing the password twice that could happen if you have a mutator
set in your model for the password column.
Be aware of your saved passwords in the browser, prefer writing
explicitly your username and password (in this case).
Finally check if there is no typo in your username/email or password. (that was my case 🤦‍♂️)

Answer 3

I inserted the data into my user table from my seeder as so:
DB::table('users')->insert([
'Email' => 'admin#QualityBooks.co.nz',
'Name' => 'Administrator',
'PhoneNumber' => '00000',
'Password' => bcrypt('P#ssw0rd'),
'isEnabled' => true,
'isAdmin' => true
]);
This works for me and I am able to log in while using the default auth controller.
