Hash::check() always returns false

I am trying to check the user input password while logging in and the Hashed password in the database, but it always returns false.

This is the code in the controller Hashing the password

$doctor = new doctor;
    $doctor->name = $request->name;
    $doctor->address = $request->address;
    $doctor->email = $request->email;
    $doctor->mobile = $request->mobile;
    $password = Hash::make($request->doctorPassword);
    $doctor->doctorPassword = $password;

This is code for validating the password: $data = $request->all();

    $user = doctor::where('email',$data['doctorUsername'])->first();
    if ($user) {

        if (Hash::check($user->doctorPassword, $data['doctorPassword']))
        {
            return view($this->filePath . '.doctorProfile');
        }

}

Always returns false.

I think everything is ok here. Just place the hashedPassword $user->doctorPassword as the second argument in Hash::check(). Cheers :D

$user = doctor::where('email',$data['doctorUsername'])->first();
    if ($user) {

        if (Hash::check($data['doctorPassword'], $user->doctorPassword))
        {
            return view($this->filePath . '.doctorProfile');
        }

Your argument order is incorrect. You should be adding the plain text version of the password first like so:

Hash::check($data['doctorPassword'], $user->doctorPassword);
