Model / Entities relation

you override the magic methods of the Entity class in your User entity - try your original version with protected members:

PHP Code:

<?php namespace App\Entities;

use CodeIgniter\Entity;

class User extends Entity
{
    protected $id;
    protected $firstname;
    protected $lastname;
    protected $username;
    protected $email;
    protected $password;
    protected $created_at;
    protected $updated_at;
    protected $deleted;
    protected $deleted_at;

    protected $_options = [
        'datamap' => [
            'full_name' => 'username'
        ],
        'dates' => ['created_at', 'updated_at', 'deleted_at'],
        'casts' => [
            'deleted' => 'boolean'
        ],
    ];

    public function setPassword(string $pass)
    {
        $this->password = password_hash($pass, PASSWORD_BCRYPT);
        return $this;
    }

} 


PS: if this doesnt work pls provide more details about what went wrong. apart your model property visibility everything else looks valid to me
