Laravel "Wrong password" error message

Question

I'm creating a login function in Laravel 5.4 and I want to show error message in the view when the password is incorrect. Also I have a custom message for account approval so it makes things a bit difficult for me. Meanwhile I put those messages together but is not very user-friendly. How can I separate them?

This is my controller:

public function login(Request $request)
{
    // validate the form data
    $this->validate($request, [
        'email' => 'required|email|exists:users,email',
        'password' => 'required|min:6'
    ]);

    // attempt to log
    if (Auth::attempt(['approve' => '1', 'email' => $request->email, 'password' => $request->password ], $request->remember)) {

        // if successful -> redirect forward
        return redirect()->intended(route('user.overview'));
    }

    // if unsuccessful -> redirect back
    return redirect()->back()->withInput($request->only('email', 'remember'))->withErrors([
        'approve' => 'Wrong password or this account not approved yet.',
    ]);
}

As result i want to replace Wrong password or this account not approved yet with two separate messages:

If password is wrong to show: Password is wrong If account not approved show: This account not approved yet

You can use like: \Session::flash('error', 'Wrong password or this account not approved yet'); return redirect()->back()->withInput()->withErrors($errors); And then print the session message in the blade file! — Hiren Gohel

You can pass custom error messages for each validation rule, you can do this:

    public function login(Request $request)
    {
        //Error messages
        $messages = [
            "email.required" => "Email is required",
            "email.email" => "Email is not valid",
            "email.exists" => "Email doesn't exists",
            "password.required" => "Password is required",
            "password.min" => "Password must be at least 6 characters"
        ];
        
        // validate the form data
        $validator = Validator::make($request->all(), [
                'email' => 'required|email|exists:users,email',
                'password' => 'required|min:6'
            ], $messages);
    
        if ($validator->fails()) {
            return back()->withErrors($validator)->withInput();
        } else {
            // attempt to log
            if (Auth::attempt(['approve' => '1', 'email' => $request->email, 'password' => $request->password ], $request->remember)) {
                // if successful -> redirect forward
                return redirect()->intended(route('user.overview'));
            }
    
            // if unsuccessful -> redirect back
            return redirect()->back()->withInput($request->only('email', 'remember'))->withErrors([
                'approve' => 'Wrong password or this account not approved yet.',
            ]);
        }
    }

Before this, you have to include Validator class:

use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Validator;

hmmm... interesting, but where should i put message 'Wrong password' ?

Diego Blaker Over a year ago

When you validate Auth::attempt, if it fails you can add a message doing this: $validator->getMessageBag()->add('password', 'Wrong password'); And return withErrors($validator) on your redirect()->back()

Without writing a new custom login method we can easily handle a custom wrong password message with the Auth default login process.

Open LoginController from the location: app/Http/Controllers/Auth/

Include the Request class if not exit on top of the controller

use Illuminate\Http\Request;

Finally add below line of codes at the very bottom of your LoginController to process the response error with custom message



    /**
     * Get the failed login response instance.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
     * @return \Illuminate\Http\RedirectResponse
     */
    protected function sendFailedLoginResponse(Request $request)
    {
        $errors = [$this->username() => trans('auth.failed')];
    
        // Load user from database
        $user = \App\User::where($this->username(), $request->{$this->username()})->first();
    
        if ($user && !\Hash::check($request->password, $user->password)) {
            $errors = ['password' => 'Wrong password'];
        }
    
        if ($request->expectsJson()) {
            return response()->json($errors, 422);
        }
    
        return redirect()->back()
            ->withInput($request->only($this->username(), 'remember'))
            ->withErrors($errors);
    }

return redirect(route('login'))->with('error', 'Please enter correct login credentials' ); will help you. Thanks.

Kamlesh Over a year ago

in blade view file

@if (session('error'))     <div class="alert alert-danger alert-dismissible show">         {{ session('error') }}         <button type="button" class="btn-close" data-bs-dismiss="alert" aria-label="Close">             <span aria-hidden="true">&times;</span>         </button>     </div> @endif

You can use like this:

return Redirect::back()->withInput(Input::all());

If you're using Form Request Validation, this is exactly how Laravel will redirect you back with errors and the given input.

Excerpt from \Illuminate\Foundation\Validation\ValidatesRequests:

return redirect()->to($this->getRedirectUrl())
                    ->withInput($request->input())
                    ->withErrors($errors, $this->errorBag());

Controller:

public function login(Request $request)
{
    // validate the form data
    $this->validate($request, [
        'email' => 'required|email|exists:users,email',
        'password' => 'required|min:6'
    ]);

    // attempt to log
    if (Auth::attempt(['approve' => '1', 'email' => $request->email, 'password' => $request->password ], $request->remember)) {

        // if successful -> redirect forward
        return redirect()->intended(route('user.overview'));
    }

    // if unsuccessful -> redirect back
    return Redirect::back()
            ->withInput()
            ->withErrors(
                [
                    'password' => 'Wrong Password',
                ],
                [
                    'approve' => 'Account not approved',
                ],
            );
}

Sorry maybe u miss understand me, i want to show error when password is incorrect

Chandra Kumar Over a year ago

Try to use ` return redirect::back()->withInput()->withFlashMessage('Wrong password or this account not approved yet.');`

Dmitry Malys Over a year ago

I want to separate: If the password does not match show: Wrong Password. And if account not approved show: Account not approved.

Hiren Gohel Over a year ago

@DmitryMalys For that, you can check separate if conditions and return separate flash messages!

Chandra Kumar Over a year ago

Try this:

return Redirect::back()             ->withInput()             ->withErrors(                 [                     'password' => 'Wrong Password',                 ], 				[                     'approve' => 'Account not approved',                 ],             );
