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

Question

I have implemented Database seeder to seed in user (default) credentials.

Admin::create(['name' => 'Super Admin', 'email' => '[email protected]', '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.
