How to create a laravel hashed password

I am trying to create an hashed password for Laravel. Now someone told me to use Laravel hash helper but I can't seem to find it or I'm looking in the wrong direction.

How do I create a laravel hashed password? And where?

Edit: I know what the code is but I don't know where and how to use it so it gives me back the hashed password. If I get the hashed password then I can manually insert it into the database

Hashing A Password Using Bcrypt in Laravel:

$password = Hash::make('yourpassword'); 

This will create a hashed password. You may use it in your controller or even in a model, for example, if a user submits a password using a form to your controller using POST method then you may hash it using something like this:

$password = Input::get('passwordformfield'); // password is form field $hashed = Hash::make($password); 

Here, $hashed will contain the hashed password. Basically, you'll do it when creating/registering a new user, so, for example, if a user submits details such as, name, email, username and password etc using a form, then before you insert the data into database, you'll hash the password after validating the data. For more information, read the documentation.

Update:

$password = 'JohnDoe'; $hashedPassword = Hash::make($password); echo $hashedPassword; // $2y$10$jSAr/RwmjhwioDlJErOk9OQEO7huLz9O6Iuf/udyGbHPiTNuB3Iuy 

So, you'll insert the $hashedPassword into database. Hope, it's clear now and if still you are confused then i suggest you to read some tutorials, watch some screen casts on laracasts.com and tutsplus.com and also read a book on Laravel, this is a free ebook, you may download it.

Update: Since OP wants to manually encrypt password using Laravel Hash without any class or form so this is an alternative way using artisan tinker from command prompt:

  1. Go to your command prompt/terminal
  2. Navigate to the Laravel installation (your project's root directory)
  3. Use cd <directory name> and press enter from command prompt/terminal
  4. Then write php artisan tinker and press enter
  5. Then write echo Hash::make('somestring');
  6. You'll get a hashed password on the console, copy it and then do whatever you want to do.

Update (Laravel 5.x):

// Also one can use bcrypt $password = bcrypt('JohnDoe');
