UserPassword

2.1

This constraint is new in version 2.1.

This validates that an input value is equal to the current authenticated user's password. This is useful in a form where a user can change his password, but needs to enter his old password for security.

Note

This should not be used to validate a login form, since this is done automatically by the security system.

Applies to	property or method
Options	message
Class	UserPassword
Validator	UserPasswordValidator

Basic Usage

Suppose you have a `PasswordChange` class, that's used in a form where the user can change his password by entering his old password and a new password. This constraint will validate that the old password matches the user's current password:
