Manually creating laravel hash directly in SQL

Question

I have a site where user passwords are hashed using Laravel's Hash::make() function.
I now have a need to manually create user's directly in the DB (MySQL). Is there a way I can create the hashed password for the user using just raw SQL?

Answer 1

You can create the password that you want via php artisan tinker:

1. Open the terminal on the root of your project.
2. Then write php artisan tinker.
3. Then echo Hash::make('password');

You will see the hashed password. You can do whatever you want with that password, even with sql query directly.

Answer 2

Not really, I'm afraid. Laravel uses Bcrypt, which isn't available in MySQL. In addition, it's a bad practice to do it in raw SQL, because the passwords might end up in server query logs. Sorry. :/
