After running php artisan make:auth in my laravel project, I want to test some default functions. I MANUALLY entered data in my MySQL Database:
but when I try to login to my project using the above credentials:
I am sure that I have typed it as exactlly as indicated secret123 but still unable to enter. Is there anything that I am missing? Or shall I do something to be able to manually enter data that matches credentials when I log in?
Yes, the password in the database is not plaintext (Big security no no).
You should try to hash your password with a Bcrypt hasher. I believe https://www.browserling.com/tools/bcrypt will work. Just fill in the password, rounds does not matter (as far as i know) and hash it! Then paste the has in the databse, then it should work for you!

I'm using the mysql 8.0.15. i know there is one same question, but in the recent version mysql 8.0.11, PASSWORD function is removed. I'm trying to get back my root user password, i have got the encrypted string caching_sha2_passIBjIZxTzot5bM9bujMxG9orfl6Ctt.w2SDLZUzAsrxD0 how can i decrpyt it? Also i try to follow solutions from this to reset password, but without the password function, almost cannot proceed.
Passwords for authentication are stored in a way that's irrecoverable, it's a one-way hashing function that's applied. In this case it's SHA2.
There's no way to "unhash" this by design. The database entry contains just enough information to validate any given password, but not enough to tell you what the password is.
You can reset the password by disabling password checks and set a new password.
Customer is running Invantive Data Hub and has recently upgraded. The batch file used to include the following:
/password:PASSWORD
But the use of unencrypted seems no longer supported; I must provide an encrypted password instead. Invantive Data Hub reports:
itgendhb079 This script uses a non-encrypted password. Please use an encrypted password instead.
How can I encrypt the password? I seem unable to find a menu option for it.
You can create an encrypted version of the password by executing the following in the Query Tool or Data Hub:
local encrypt password
and then pressing enter (Data Hub) or ctrl+enter (Query Tool).
A window will appear with the currently used password filled-in when available, signalled by ***.
Please note that the encrypted password is encrypted using a device-specific key. So you can only use it on the device on which you generated the encrypted password.
I just discovered that in the file
/etc/dbconfig-common/phpmyadmin.conf
My database admin password is written in clear-text with no encryption.
How can I change that? I noticed online that many people are happy with this. Although I noticed that only root can see the content of this file (its permission is 600), I still would prefer not having clear passwords.
What do you suggest?
If you require any additional information, please ask.
If you are just looking for a solution for phpmyadmin, you could change it to cookie based authentication. then create .htaccess file with db username and password where pasword is stored in encrypted password file. on first call of page you will have to login once with user and password and then a cookie is stored locally so on next call you are straight in again.

I am a front-end developer, and I know little from MySQL and databases.
I have a Wordpress MySQL database in CPanel. Now I forgot my password, and the password for my user as seen in phpmyadmin is hashed/encrypted.
How do I get the password?
NOTE: I do not have access to the Server since this is a website on a shared hosting account, so doing the following is not possible for me:
See this post on Stack
Stop the MySQL process.
Start the MySQL process with the --skip-grant-tables option.
Start the MySQL console client with the -u root option.
List all the users;
SELECT * FROM mysql.user;
Reset password;
UPDATE mysql.user SET Password=PASSWORD('[password]') WHERE User='[username]';
But DO NOT FORGET to
Stop the MySQL process
Start the MySQL Process normally (i.e. without the --skip-grant-tables option)
when you are finished. Otherwise, your database's security could be compromised.
If your website is working you can probably find the mysql user/password
in the config.php file in your wordpress filesystem.
Otherwise:
Your best option is probably to add a user to the database and give it the needed privileges, to do that:
Click MySQL databases.
Create new user.
Assign new user to your database.
Edit config.php on your wordpress filesystem and change to the new username.
This is sub optimal, but will work.
There is a simple way for you to gain access to your WordPress user info if you don't know the password. I'm assuming you are talking about a WordPress user password retrieval. You need to have access and edit privileges to your database to do this.
-Open up phpMyAdmin or however you prefer to access database tables
-Select your database
-Open the table wp_users
-Under the column 'user_login' you will need to find which entry you want to access. Your username should be in one of the row entries.
-Once found, there will be a 'user_pass' column as well. Now some explaining needs to happen. You cannot retrieve your password without hacking/brute forcing that encryption. These are MD5 hash encrypted passwords. What we are going to do is just simply create a new password here. All you have to do is Google "MD5 Hash generator". I tested this on the first result I found and it worked.
-Once you find a website with a generator just simply type in your password and then retrieve the hash that's given to you. For example I typed in 'password' and I receive '5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99' Now we have a new encrypted password to set. If you are worried about sites saving your password entries or hashes just make up a password as a temporary fix. Then you can just login with that and change the password via the WordPress Dashboard later.
-Select the row that your username is in. Click Change/Edit then just copy and paste the entire MD5 Hash into the wp_pass column.(Overwrite the old password btw.) Save/Go/Execute to make sure the table was re-written. In this example I would be pasting '5f4dcc3b5aa765d61d8327deb882cf99' into the column without quotes of course.
-Please be sure to only change the 'wp_pass' entry and to make sure it's corresponding to the correct username.(On the same row)
-Now you should be able to login with your new password.('password')
I have an SSIS package that I'm trying to run from a SQL job. However, it fails, and the log claims that the password for the user specified in the connection string is wrong. For testing I've got the protection level set to EncryptSensitiveWithKey, and it runs fine from BIDS. When I import it into SSIS I change it to ServerStorage. (My understanding of the documentation says that this should work. I could be wrong though.) During the import it asks for the decryption key, which I supply, and everything seems fine.
It also seems fine when I set up the job in SQL Server Agent. However, when I run the job, it fails and the log says that the password for that user is incorrect. It doesn't say that there is a permission problem, but that the password is wrong.
I've been through the connections and double checked the username and password that is used to access the database. I can connect just fine with that username and password combination. This is the user that is used to connect to the database. There don't appear to be any problems executing the job.
Any help with this would be appreciated.
From what it looks like, it seems like you still need to modify the password after you have installed it to the SQL Agent. The decryption key decrypts the sensitive information but it is still tied to the person that created it. Have you tried re-entering the password when you install it to the server?
