I'm trying to make a login of a user externally in PHP.
Need to know which class should be used in Magento 2 to validate by Email & password and once validated, open the session.
I'm dealing with CustomerRepository
Class, where there is a function that's supposed fetch a Customer by Email and returns a CustomerModel
Object but no success. The idea is to get the Model from such user and in case the Model has data, get the password and compare.
$this->answer = $this->customer_Repository->get("[email protected]");
When I print in console the answer, it's empty.
I do not find anything related to this topic. Is There any Class that makes this operation directly?
