Question

What is the hash generation algorithm that Laravel uses?

By default Laravel already comes with a pre-ready authentication system, however, would anyone know to tell me what is the algorithm default that this framework uses to generate hash and what version?

According to the documentation, for this type of task, the BCryptis used, which goes against a question here about secure passwords. Example:

<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Hash;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
class UpdatePasswordController extends Controller {
    /**
     * Update the password for the user.
     *
     * @param  Request  $request
     * @return Response
     */
    public function update(Request $request) {
        // Validate the new password length...
        $request->user()->fill([
            'password' => Hash::make($request->newPassword)
        ])->save();
    }
}

I put on GitHub for future reference.
