In Register
...
$passwordHash = password_hash($password, PASSWORD_DEFAULT);
...
In Login
...
$response["success"] = false;

while(mysqli_stmt_fetch($statement)){
if (password_verify($password, $colpassword)) {
   $response["success"] = true;

...

But verification and comparison always become false !
tested with simple password a123. " checked $password=a123 and $colpassword= $2y$10$Fgt9s02vn "
Why password_verify don't work properly and return false ? encrypted password generated correctly ,read from db correctly and confirmed but failed on verification !
