Answer 1

You can do that by overriding login() method in Auth\LoginController.php. Just check if credentials are valid and do this:

return $this->sendLoginResponse($request);

For example:

if (Hash::check($request->password, $passwordFromDB) && ($request->username == $usernameFromDB || $request->email == $emailFromDB)) {
    return $this->sendLoginResponse($request);
}

return $this->sendFailedLoginResponse($request);
