Magento2 – How to authenticate customer by email
To authenticate customer using email and password, create an instance of \Magento\Customer\Api\AccountManagementInterface class and call authenticate(..) method. The authenticate method requires email and password parameters.
<?php
use Magento\Customer\Api\AccountManagementInterface;
private AccountManagementInterface $accountManagement;
public function __construct(AccountManagementInterface $accountManagement)
{
$this->accountManagement = $accountManagement;
}
...
try {
$customer = $this->accountManagement->authenticate("[email protected]", "example123#");
echo "Welcome {$customer->getFirstname()} {$customer->getLastname()}";
} catch (\Magento\Framework\Exception\LocalizedException $e) {
echo $e->getMessage();
}
