How can PHP developers effectively troubleshoot issues related to password changes in text databases?

Issue: PHP developers can effectively troubleshoot issues related to password changes in text databases by ensuring that the password is properly hashed before storing it in the database and verifying the hashed password during login. Code snippet: 

// Hash the password before storing it in the database
$password = $_POST['password'];
$hashed_password = password_hash($password, PASSWORD_DEFAULT);

// Store the hashed password in the database

// Verify the hashed password during login
$password = $_POST['password'];
$stored_password = // Retrieve hashed password from the database
if (password_verify($password, $stored_password)) {
    // Password is correct, proceed with login
} else {
    // Password is incorrect, show error message
}
