I'm developing the user login part, with a database. However, I'm having difficulty with the login route, where it can't verify my password, what could I be doing wrong?

[JoaoLuiz92]

`router.post('login', async ({ request, response }) => {
const { email, password } = request.only(['email', 'password'])

const user = await User.findBy('email', email)
if (!user) {
return response.abort('Invalid')
}

const passwordValid = await hash.verify(user.password, password)
console.log(user.password)
if (passwordValid) {
return response.send('Pass Valid')
} else {
return response.abort('Invalid credentials')
}

/try {
const token = await auth.use('api').generate(user)
return response.json(token)
} catch (err) {
console.error(err)
return response.internalServerError('Something went wrong')
}/`

What does your user model look like? Do you have the AuthFinder mixin being composed into it? If so, do note that mixin will take care of password hashing via a @beforeSave() hook. It also provides a verifyCredentials(uid, password) method that accepts in the UID and password and will return back a user, if one was found, or throw an invalid credentials exception.

const user = await User.verifyCredentials(email, password)
