$password = Hash::make('secret');

You may also use the bcrypt helper function:

$password = bcrypt('secret');

Verifying A Password Against A Hash

if (Hash::check('secret', $hashedPassword))    {
    // The passwords match...
}

Checking If A Password Needs To Be Rehashed

if (Hash::needsRehash($hashed))    {
    $hashed = Hash::make('secret');
}
