Symfony 2.6 security BCryptPasswordEncoder error

Question

I'm developing a web app with Symfony 2.6, PHP 5.4 and MySQL 5.6 and Twig. I'm also using YAML and bcrypt

Currently I'm developing a login form, I followed the Symfony2 Tutorial but when I test the web app I'm receiving this error:

Warning: password_verify() expects parameter 2 to be string, resource given
    Stack Trace in vendor/symfony/symfony/src/Symfony/Component/Security/Core/Encoder/BCryptPasswordEncoder.php at line 89   -

    public function isPasswordValid($encoded, $raw, $salt) 
    { 
        return !$this->isPasswordTooLong($raw) && password_verify($raw, $encoded); 
    } 
} 

This is the related code: Security.xml

LoginAction inside SecurityController

...
    public function loginAction() {

        $authenticationUtils = $this->get('security.authentication_utils');

        // get the login error if there is one
        $error = $authenticationUtils->getLastAuthenticationError();

        // last username entered by the user
        $lastUsername = $authenticationUtils->getLastUsername();
        $repositorioUsuario = $this->getDoctrine()->getRepository('InterempleaBundle:Usuario');
        $usuario = $repositorioUsuario->loadUserByUsername($lastUsername);

        return $this->render(
            'InterempleaBundle:Usuario:panel_principal.html.twig', array(
                // last username entered by the user
                'last_username' => $usuario->id,
                'error' => $error,
            )
        );
    }
...

I'm doubting about the salt attribute inside the entity, but the tutorial says it has to be null.

What can it be happening? Am I missing some step?

Feel free to ask for any other code or explanation.

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Following @Martin Rios suggestion, I checked the content from $encoded variable and I realized that in Symfony2 Tutorial the password field in database was a varchar(64) and I had a binary(64) instead. So I changed the data type to the password field, re-generate entities with Doctrine commands, clean cache and it worked!
