Error: password_hash(): Password must be a string in laravel

An ErrorException occurred in my code $user->password = Hash::make(Input::get('password')); saying password_hash(): Password must be a string. I am using laravel framework

            $user = new User();
            $user->username = Input::get('username');
            $user->password = Hash::make(Input::get('password'));   
             if($user->save())
             {   
                return Redirect::route('home')->with('success','You register successfully. You can now login');
             } else {
                return Redirect::route('home')->with('fail','An error occurred while creating user. Please try again.');
             }

I had similar issue on a Linux machine which threw in 

ErrorException
password_hash(): Password must be a string

By upgrading PHP from PHP 5.4 to PHP 5.5 it solved it on my Laravel environment.

I experienced the same issue, using wamp 2.4 which comes with PHP 5.4, but after upgrading to wamp 2.5 which comes with php 5.5, it was solved so thats solution number 1:

  • If you are running a lower version of php then you might want to upgrade.

Still looking for a solution that doesnt require an upgrade because on Laravel's documentation, it mentions that 5.4+ is supported for Laravel 4.2
