Always Incorrect Credentials when logging in

[sadboys]

Hello, I'm currently using Yii2 Framework in developing my project. I encounter an error that whenever I try to login it always says "Incorrect Username or Password" even though my password is correct. I checked the user table in phpmyadmin and the password is getting hashed and there's no problem since the user information is stored in the user table without problems but if I try to login it doesn't accept the username or password. Anyone encounter a similar issue like mine?

 

Here's the SignupForm.php

class SignupForm extends Model
{
    public $username;
    public $email;
    public $password;
    public $first_name;
    public $middle_name;
    public $last_name;
    public $contact;
    public $birth_date;
    public $type;
    public $external_type;
    public $status;
    public $region_id;
    public $barangay_id;
    public $province_id;
    public $city_municipal_id;



    /**
     * @inheritdoc
     */
    public function rules()
    {
        return [
            ['username', 'trim'],
            ['username', 'required'],
            ['username', 'unique', 'targetClass' => '\common\models\User', 'message' => 'This username has already been taken.'],
            ['username', 'string', 'min' => 2, 'max' => 255],

            ['email', 'trim'],
            ['email', 'required'],
            ['email', 'email'],
            ['email', 'string', 'max' => 255],
            ['email', 'unique', 'targetClass' => '\common\models\User', 'message' => 'This email address has already been taken.'],

            ['password', 'required'],
            ['password', 'string', 'min' => 6],

            ['first_name', 'required'],
            ['first_name', 'string', 'max' => 45],

            ['middle_name', 'string', 'max' => 45],

            ['last_name', 'required'],
            ['last_name', 'string', 'max' => 45],

            ['contact', 'required'],
            ['contact', 'string', 'max' => 11],

            ['birth_date', 'required'],

            ['type', 'required'],
            ['type', 'string', 'max' => 45],

            ['external_type', 'string', 'max' => 45],

            ['status', 'string', 'max' => 45],

            ['region_id', 'required'],
            ['barangay_id', 'required'],
            ['province_id', 'required'],
            ['city_municipal_id', 'required'],


        ];
    }

    /**

        return $this->render('signup', [
            'model' => $model,
        ]);
    }

I see no parameters being passed to your login function. How is it supposed to be getting the username/email & password?

Updated Code:

 public function actionLogin()
    {
        if (!Yii::$app->user->isGuest) {
            return $this->goHome();
        }

        $model = new LoginForm();
        if ($model->load(Yii::$app->request->post()) && $model->login()) {
            return $this->goBack();
        } else {
            return $this->render('login', [
                'model' => $model,
            ]);
        }
    }

I tried using the default user table and it works perfectly fine. However if I use my own user table with the other additional columns it doesn't work.

I'm afraid you need to actual read/debug/trace the login code in order to understand why it works with the original table and not yours, but at least you have pinpointed a logical place to start.
