Laravel can't login using attempt

As my title mentioned, I am trying to login using auth()->attempt($credentials, false) but it always return false.

After further digging into the problem, I finally found that it was due to this:

public function validateCredentials(UserContract $user, array $credentials)
    {
        $plain = $credentials['password'];

        return $this->hasher->check($plain, $user->getAuthPassword());
    }

The $user->getAuthPassword() returns null even though the $user have password on the original while I dump it out.

Solution

  • Actually this is very basic mistake. As I had mixed with some other programming language style of code (getter and setter).

    I set a password variable on the User::class. By such, when it retrieving $user->getAuthPassword() it will take the variable data instead of attribute data.

    I'm sharing this knowledge in case someone else encounters the same issue. As I tried to solve this problem for about 2 days and wasn't able to find anything.
