How can one troubleshoot issues with implementing PHP classes for user authentication?

To troubleshoot issues with implementing PHP classes for user authentication, ensure that the class is properly instantiated, check for any syntax errors in the class definition, and verify that the methods within the class are correctly implemented. Additionally, make sure that the class is being used correctly in the authentication process. 

// Example of a PHP class for user authentication

class UserAuthentication {
    private $username;
    private $password;

    public function __construct($username, $password) {
        $this->username = $username;
        $this->password = $password;
    }

    public function authenticate() {
        // Add authentication logic here
        if ($this->username === 'admin' && $this->password === 'password') {
            return true;
        } else {
            return false;
        }
    }
}

// Instantiate the UserAuthentication class and authenticate a user
$user = new UserAuthentication('admin', 'password');
if ($user->authenticate()) {
    echo 'User authenticated successfully';
} else {
    echo 'Authentication failed';
}
