Catchable Fatal Error: Object of class __PHP_Incomplete_Class could not be converted to string

Question

I'm having an error when I want to open a simple page. This is the full error:

ContextErrorException: Catchable Fatal Error: Object of class __PHP_Incomplete_Class could not be converted to string in /Applications/mampstack-5.4.20-0/apache2/htdocs/engelsvandenbroecke/vendor/symfony/symfony/src/Symfony/Component/Security/Core/Authentication/Token/AbstractToken.php line 70

What I've done in my symfony project is:

• Generate entities from database
• Edit User Entity for security
• Edit security.yml
• Added two datafixtures

This is my User Entity Class:

<?php

For me help'd clearing cache/cookies in browser. (in browsers session was stored old version of user's entity).
