UserPassword

Warning: You are browsing the documentation for Symfony 2.2, which is no longer maintained.

Read the updated version of this page for Symfony 6.2 (the current stable version).

UserPassword

2.1

This constraint is new in version 2.1.

Note

Since Symfony 2.2, the UserPassword* classes in the Symfony\\Component\\Security\\Core\\Validator\\Constraint namespace are deprecated and will be removed in Symfony 2.3. Please use the UserPassword* classes in the Symfony\\Component\\Security\\Core\\Validator\\Constraints namespace instead.

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 their password, but needs to enter their 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 their password by entering their old password and a new password. This constraint will validate that the old password matches the user's current password:
