Pull request #21885 on the framework's repository has made this package obsolete as Argon2 hashing will be added in Laravel's [5.6] release, therefore this package will only support from version [5.0] to [5.5]., (*1)
Laravel Argon2
, (*2)
A drop-in Argon2 implementation for Laravel.
(which will be usable from PHP 7.2 if compiled with the --with-password-argon2 option), (*3)
As the RFC states, the Argon2d variant will not be implemented into php, and therefore we can call our package Argon2 as an alias to Argon2i., (*4)
Disclaimer
Please be careful while changing the HashServiceProviders, if your application is already up and running and in some way relies on bcrypt, then it is probably a bad idea, as this replaces the standard bcrypt functionality from your Laravel installation. (given that it is replaced by Argon2), (*5)
Installation
Require the package., (*6)
composer require koenhoeijmakers/laravel-argon2
Search inside the config/app.php for the Illuminate\Hashing\HashServiceProvider::class and replace it with the KoenHoeijmakers\LaravelArgon2\HashServiceProvider::class., (*7)
'providers' => [
//...
//Illuminate\Hashing\HashServiceProvider::class,
KoenHoeijmakers\LaravelArgon2\HashServiceProvider::class,
//...
],
Usage
If you have replaced your HashServiceProvider with the provider delivered by this package, you may now use the laravel hash functionality the same way as you used to., (*8)
FAQ
Q: Can i use this package when there are bcrypt hashes in my database?
A: That is not a problem as these can still be verified., (*9)
