How to Match Customer Password in Magento 2

In this blog, we will see how can we check if customer password is a match.
We can use the below code to check this,

$objectManager = \Magento\Framework\App\ObjectManager::getInstance();
$customerAccountManagement = $objectManager->get('Magento\Customer\Api\AccountManagementInterface');
try {
    $customer = $customerAccountManagement->authenticate($email, $password);
} catch (\Exception $e) {
    //Authentication Failed
}

We can use Magento\Customer\Api\AccountManagementInterface and call the authenticate method which requires two parameters. First param is Email ID of the customer and the second param is the Password. It will return customer data model if it matches otherwise it will throw exception. So we have to write it in try-catch block.

P.S. Please do not use Object Manager.
