The function will return the hashed password or * on error.

Checking

To check a hash password, simply pass the string and stored password to check_password().

$password = 'P7g2zd';
$hash = $2y$10$DV4jdLVebUX1ishuSSRJF.BDqWKgcvTrbpve0DkPxr.f0rO8ST8Ea

} else {
    // Password does not match stored password.
}

The function will return TRUE or FALSE dependant on success.

if (Hash::check('plain-text', $hashedPassword)) {
    // The password match...
