password decode in controller

Question

I use it to encode my password: ``` $entity->setSalt(md5(time())); $encoder = new MessageDigestPasswordEncoder('sha1'); $password = $encoder->encodePassword($editForm->get('password')->getData(), $entity->getSalt()); $entity->setPassword($password); ``` But how could relizar step opposite? that is, how could I get the unencrypted password? if i use this ``` $entity->getPassword() ``` shows me this: ``` xOGjEeMdi4nwanOustbbJlDkug8= ``` Thank you very much for the reply.

Accepted Answer

You should encrypt the same way the old password was, the password entered by user. The result encrypted password should be the same.

```
$encoder = new MessageDigestPasswordEncoder('sha1');
$password = $encoder->encodePassword($editForm->get('antigua')->getData(), $entity->getSalt());
```

Now you can compare the old encrypted password with the new user entered one...
