Mcrypt Hasher For Laravel Auth

This package will replace Laravel's default hash service provider.

1. composer require brokerexchange/mcrypthasher

2. (Optional) Publish the config

   • php artisan vendor:publish --tag=mcrypt

3. (Optional) Add MCRYPT_KEY to your .env file

   • MCRYPT_KEY='My awesome hash key'

note: this step is optional because APP_KEY will be used if MCRYPT_KEY is not provided in your project.

5. If you are using Laravel 5.5+, this package will be auto-discovered. Otherwise, add McryptHasher\McryptHasherServiceProvider::class, to config/app.php

<?php
    // ...

     /*
     * Package Service Providers...
      */
      McryptHasher\McryptHasherServiceProvider::class

    // ...

4. In the config/hashing.php file update the driver value to 'mcrypt':

<?php

   return [
       // ...
       
       'driver' => 'mcrypt',
   
       // ...
   ];

Once installed the mcrypt hasher will automatically be used during authentication and registration. If you wish to use the package manually, you may now use the Hash facade. ex: Hash::make('12345')

If you wish to continue using other hash drivers, add a driver function call to the Hash facade chain. ex: Hash::driver('bcrypt')->make('12345')
