Encrypted password not working

In SecurityConfig.java, I wrote in the following code:

@Autowired
public void configureGlobal(AuthenticationManagerBuilder auth) throws Exception {
    auth.userDetailsService(userService).passwordEncoder(passwordEncoder());
}

@Bean
public PasswordEncoder passwordEncoder() {
    return new BCryptPasswordEncoder(10);
}

In import.sql, I changed 'password' to the 60-char BCrypt hash.

Now when I try to enter my username and password in the browser, I get "Incorrect username and/or password. Please try again."

Do you know what I've done wrong here? Thanks.

I had the same issue, I used the encode method from the BycriptPasswordEncoder class to generate the password instead of using the one from the web site, and it worked for me. Here's the code: String password = "password"; BCryptPasswordEncoder passwordEncoder = new BCryptPasswordEncoder(); String hashedPassword = passwordEncoder.encode(password);

    System.out.println(hashedPassword);

I copied and pasted it from to the console to the import.sql file
