How to use CPasswordHelper in yii2

Question

I am trying to encrypt a password using the PHP crypt function. In yii, it's recommended to use CPasswordHelper. When I call CPasswordHelper::hashPassword($password), it says Class 'common\models\CPasswordHelper' not found.

Please help?

CPasswordHelper is Yii 1 not Yii 2. – Bizley Jan 01 '17 at 12:36 — Bizley, Jan 01 '17 at 12:36

To generate hashed password in Yii 2 use security component.

You can generate password hash with:

$hash = \Yii::$app->getSecurity()->generatePasswordHash($rawUserPassword);

To validate this password later on you can check:

if (\Yii::$app->getSecurity()->validatePassword($rawUserPassword, $hash) {}
