Expected an instance of "Symfony\Component\Security\Core\User\UserInterface" as first argument

Question

I'm trying to add hashing to passwords for my users, I followed this guide for symfony 5.3 and when I'm using

->setPassword($passwordHasher->hashPassword(
                $user,
                'contraseña'
            ))

While testing if it works, I'm getting the error:

Expected an instance of "Symfony\Component\Security\Core\User\UserInterface" as first argument, but got "App\Entity\Usuario".

I don't understand because it's literally written as the guide shows.
These are my files:

As the documentation tells you: user objects have to implement specific interfaces, like `UserInterface` — Nico Haase, Jun 28 '21 at 13:38
Oh my god, I must have deleted the implementation at some point or I don't know, thank you! :) — Cristian Rodriguez Navarro, Jun 28 '21 at 20:07

You Usuario entity should implement UserInterface.

It's a very basic and simple interface:

interface UserInterface
{
    public function getRoles();
    public function getPassword();
    public function getSalt();
    public function eraseCredentials();
    public function getUsername();
}

You've implemented the necessary methods, but didn't declare the interface implementation:

class Usuario implements UserInterface 
{ /* class implementation */ }

For forward compatibility, you should also implement getIdentifier() (getUsername() is going to be removed from the interface on Symfony 6, and be replaced with this method).

Simply:

class Usuario implements UserInterface
{
    public function getIdentifier():string
    {
        return $this->email;
    }

    // rest of the implementation follows

}

Additionally, since your Usuario entity also implements getPassword() from UserInterface, you should also implement PasswordAuthenticatedUserInterface. This new interface was introduced in 5.3, and in 6.0 getPassword() will be removed from UserInterface:

class Usuario implements UserInterface, PasswordAuthenticatedUserInterface
{
}

By the time 6.0 you'll probably want to get rid of getSalt() as well, since it will be removed from UserInterface (and moved to LegacyPasswordAuthenticatedUserInterface()), but it's very unlikely the method is of any use in your application (since any relatively modern hashing method will produce its own random salt).

You should modify your security.yaml file by replacing

password_hashers

with

encoders
