<para>
Verifies that the given hash matches the given password.
<function>password_verify</function> is compatible with <function>crypt</function>.
Therefore, password hashes created by <function>crypt</function> can be used with
<function>password_verify</function>.
</para>
<para>
Note that <function>password_hash</function> returns the algorithm, cost and salt
as part of the returned hash. Therefore, all information that's needed to verify
the hash is included in it. This allows the verify function to verify the hash
without needing separate storage for the salt or algorithm information.
</para>
<para>
This function is safe against timing attacks.
