[edit]

This hook was removed in Gerrit change 77645 as part of the RFC for improving the storage of passwords.

Return false to override the default password checks.

  • &$hash: String of the password hash (from the database)
  • &$password: String of the plaintext password the user entered
  • &$userId: Integer of the user's ID or boolean false if the user ID was not supplied
  • &$result: If the hook returns false, this boolean value will be checked to determine if the password was valid
