Disable password checks on Laravel

Step 1 update your .env file

Add the following to .env

LOGIN_PASSWORD_CHECK=false

Step 2 update your login controller

Change App/Http/Controllers/Auth/LoginController::attemptLogin to

protected function attemptLogin(Request $request)
{
    if (env('LOGIN_PASSWORD_CHECK', true) == false) {
        $this->guard()->login(
            User::whereEmail($request->input('email'))->firstOrFail()
        );
        return true;
    }

    return $this->guard()->attempt(
        $this->credentials($request),
        $request->filled('remember')
    );
}

Step 3 done.

That's it. Now you can login with any password, it will accept it and log into the account designated by the email your provided in the login form.

Bonus if you're using Heroku, add this to your app.json to disable password check on review apps:

{
    "env": {
        "APP_ENV": "review",
        "LOGIN_PASSWORD_CHECK": "false"
    }
}
