Collection of CakePHP Password Hasher
=====================================

[](#collection-of-cakephp-password-hasher)

This project provides a collection of CakePHP password hasher. Most hasher classes use the default password hasher of CakePHP under the hood.

The most useful class is the "Argon2PasswordHasher" which provides the functionality to hash password with the new and more secure Argon2i algorithm. The algorithm has been integrated into PHP 7.2, nevertheless this project provides backwards compatibility to PHP 7.0.

Furthermore, PHP 7.2 on Alpine does not support Argon2i up to now. This project provides a polyfill for that.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

### PHP 7.2

[](#php-72)

You ususally do not need any requirements. It should work out-of-the-box.
**Important:** If you run PHP 7.2 on Alpine Linux, please install the **sodium** extension (php7-sodium).

### PHP 7.0 / 7.1

[](#php-70--71)

Please install the **libsodium** extension, either via PECL or via package manager.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Install via composer. There is no need for plugin loading or special configuration. Just use the project as described below.

```
composer require lukeelten/cakephp-password-hasher
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

You can use the Argon2PasswordHasher with the default Auth plugin as seen below.

```
$this->loadComponent('Auth', [
    'authenticate' => [
        'Form' => [
            'passwordHasher' => Argon2PasswordHasher::class
            // 'passwordHasher' => SecurePasswordHasherChain::class
        ]
    ]
];
```

Make sure, that you hash the password correctly when setting the user's model property:

```
class User extends Entity
{
    protected function _setPassword($value) {
        $hasher = new Argon2PasswordHasher();
        return $hasher->hash($value);
    }
}
```

Troubleshooting
---------------

[](#troubleshooting)

If you have problems installing the composer dependencies, delete the "composer.lock" file. It has been generated using PHP 7.2 and may not be suitable for other PHP versions.
