No, its intended. You have to use checkHash() method in order to compare passwords.

$this->security->checkHash($this->request->getPost('password'), $dbPasswordHere)

I used checkHash() and it keeps sending false even wtih the right password

Edit : Ok problem solved, should use

$this->security->checkHash($this->request->getPost('password'), $dbPasswordHere) and not

$this->security->checkHash($dbPasswordHere, $this->request->getPost('password'))

Inverted the parameters thinking it doesn't matter..
