 The following function accepts three parameters like old password, new password and confirm password. And it will change old password to new password; is as follows:

public function updatePassword(Request $request)
{
    $this->validate($request, [
        'old_password'     => 'required',
        'new_password'     => 'required|min:6',
        'confirm_password' => 'required|same:new_password',
    ]);
 
    $data = $request->all();
  
    $user = User::find(auth()->user()->id);
 
    if(!\Hash::check($data['old_password'], $user->password)){
 
         return back()->with('error','You have entered wrong password');
 
    }else{
