User provided in Symfony2 does not log in - php

Question

I'm following few tutorials along with the documentation, but I can't make my provided user in security.yml to log in. Here is my YML file that provides a username called user and a password userpass, as a simply user.
security:
role_hierarchy:
ROLE_ADMIN: ROLE_USER
ROLE_SUPER_ADMIN: [ROLE_ADMIN, ROLE_ALLOWED_TO_SWITCH]
encoders:
Symfony\Component\Security\Core\User\User: sha512
providers:
in_memory:
memory:
users:
user: { password: userpass, roles: ROLE_ADMIN }
firewalls:
secured_area:
anonymous: ~
pattern: ^/
form_login:
check_path: /login_check
login_path: /login
logout:
path: /logout
target: /
dev:
pattern: ^/(_(profiler|wdt)|css|images|js)/
security: false
access_control:
- { path: ^/new, roles: ROLE_ADMIN }
- { path: ^/create, roles: ROLE_ADMIN }
- { path: ^/edit, roles: ROLE_ADMIN }
- { path: ^/delete, roles: ROLE_ADMIN }
- { path: ^/login, roles: IS_AUTHENTICATED_ANONYMOUSLY }
The loginAction is the same from the official documentation:
public function loginAction()
{
$authUtils = $this->get('security.authentication_utils');
$error = $authUtils->getLastAuthenticationError();
$lastUsernme = $authUtils->getLastUsername();
return $this->render('UserBundle:Login:login.html.twig', array(
'last_username' => $lastUsernme,
'error' => $error
));
}
I don't know what else I should paste here because every view, controller and route works perfectly. The only issue is that whenever I try to log in with that user and password the "BAD CREDENTIALS" message is shown.

Answer 1

Just use plaintext encoder in order to be able to login with "userpass" (look at the example below)
or you can encode "userpass" to sha512 and replace "userpass" by the result
encoders:
Symfony\Component\Security\Core\User\User: plaintext

Answer 2

This shows you the full example.
You can just pay attention to SecurityController and the security.yml file in the example then work out what else you're missing in your application.
example security.yml
