How can the issue of always getting a true result in the authentication method be addressed in the PHP code?

Issue: To ensure always getting a true result in the authentication method, we can utilize a secure hashing algorithm like bcrypt to securely store and compare passwords in PHP. PHP Code Snippet: 

// Hash the password before storing it in the database
$hashed_password = password_hash($password, PASSWORD_BCRYPT);

// Compare the hashed password with the user input during authentication
if (password_verify($input_password, $hashed_password)) {
    // Password is correct
    // Proceed with authentication
} else {
    // Password is incorrect
    // Handle authentication failure
}
