Help

The security:encode-password command encodes passwords according to your
security configuration. This command is mainly used to generate passwords for
the in_memory user provider type and for changing passwords
in the database while developing the application.

Suppose that you have the following security configuration in your application:


# app/config/security.yml
security:
    encoders:
        Symfony\Component\Security\Core\User\InMemoryUser: plaintext
        App\Entity\User: auto


If you execute the command non-interactively, the first available configured
user class under the security.encoders key is used and a random salt is
generated to encode the password:

  php bin/console security:encode-password --no-interaction [password]

Pass the full user class path as the second argument to encode passwords for
your own entities:

  php bin/console security:encode-password --no-interaction [password] 'App\Entity\User'

Executing the command interactively allows you to generate a random salt for
encoding the password:

  php bin/console security:encode-password [password] 'App\Entity\User'

In case your encoder doesn't require a salt, add the empty-salt option:

  php bin/console security:encode-password --empty-salt [password] 'App\Entity\User'
