bcrypt compare returns false code example
Example 1: bcrypt compare
import bcrypt from 'bcryptjs'
export const matchPassword = async (enteredpassword, oldPassword) => {
return await bcrypt.compare(enteredpassword, oldPassword)
}
Example 2: bcrypt compare return false
/*
you can skip doing bcrypt.genSalt and use
bcrypt.hash(password, 10, function(err, hash) {..});
this is working fine for me:
*/
var bcrypt = require('bcrypt');
bcrypt.hash('mypassword', 10, function(err, hash) {
if (err) { throw (err); }
bcrypt.compare('mypassword', hash, function(err, result) {
if (err) { throw (err); }
console.log(result);
});
});
Example 3: bcrypt compare with hash
// password: the value passed from the password form input
// hash: the value requested from the database. This is the "encrypted" password
bcrypt.compare(password, hash).then(validPass => {
// validPass returns true or false
}.catch(err => console.log('error: ' + err));
