You don't need to

The used algorithm, cost and salt are returned as part of the hash. Therefore, all information that's needed to verify the hash is included in it. This allows the password_verify() function to verify the hash without needing separate storage for the salt or algorithm information.

    $passwordEnteredFirstTime = '12345';
    $passwordEnteredSecondTime = '12345';

    $passwordHash = password_hash($passwordEnteredFirstTime, PASSWORD_BCRYPT);
    $passIsValid = password_verify($passwordEnteredSecondTime, $passwordHash);
    echo $passIsValid ? 'correct password' : 'wrong password';

You can't.

password_hash() creates a new password hash using a strong one-way hashing algorithm.

From password_hash.
