Authentication problem with validatePassword()?

Question

Yii

I can’t understand what’s wrong validatePassword() always raises an error regardless of whether the password is entered correctly or not, I do this in the Users model, I generate a password and save it to the database using the method

public function setPassword($password){
        $this->password = Yii::$app->getSecurity()->generatePasswordHash($password);
    }

the password is created normally and written to the database without any problems, now the validation method itself is in the model

public function validatePassword($attribute, $params)
    {
        if (!$this->hasErrors()) {
            $user = $this->getUser();
            if (!$user || !Yii::$app->security->validatePassword($this->password, $user->password)) {
                var_dump($this->password . "------------" . Yii::$app->getSecurity()->validatePassword($this->password, $user->password) . "**********" . $user->password);
                $this->addError($attribute, "Пароль или имя пользователя введены неверно");
            }
        }

    }

var_dump outputs the following Slay--------------------**********$2y$13$Gnd.7dQCOpajawjRmn0laupNfj8tWAISLfYKazwmYHR
i.e. as I understand the password from the form and the hashed password from the database the function gets the correct only it doesn't return anything instead of emptiness between ---*** should be 0, and if you use a simple password and save it in the database and then compare there are no problems, everything works, maybe I'm missing something or forgot to connect it?

Answer 1

var_dump($this->password . "------------" . Yii::$app->getSecurity()->validatePassword($this->password, $user->password) . "**********" . $user->password);

No 0 can be returned. F-I validatePassword returns either true or false. It does not save anything, does not update anything - it just checks the password that came in and set
. Because you are concatenating the string, nothing is displayed.
Output like this

var_dump($this->password,Yii::$app->getSecurity()->validatePassword($this->password, $user->password), $user->password);
