Are there any PHP libraries or frameworks that provide secure password verification methods for user data stored in a .txt file?

Storing user data, especially passwords, in a plain text file is not secure as it exposes sensitive information. To enhance security, it is recommended to use a PHP library or framework that provides secure password verification methods, such as password hashing with bcrypt. By using bcrypt, passwords are securely hashed and stored, making it difficult for attackers to retrieve the original password even if they gain access to the file.

<?php

// Verify user password against hashed password stored in a .txt file
function verifyPassword($inputPassword, $hashedPassword) {
    return password_verify($inputPassword, $hashedPassword);
}

// Example of how to use the verifyPassword function
$inputPassword = "user123";
$hashedPassword = file_get_contents('hashed_password.txt');

if (verifyPassword($inputPassword, $hashedPassword)) {
    echo "Password is correct!";
} else {
    echo "Password is incorrect!";
}

?>
