Laravel API passport - Unable to login

Question

After i register an user using the passport and see the user in database. i tried to login and i get the message "Unauthorised". this is my login method:

public function login(){
    if(Auth::attempt(['email' => request('email'), 'password' => request('password')])){
        $user = Auth::user();
        $success['token'] =  $user->createToken('MyApp')->accessToken;
        return response()->json(['success' => $success], $this->successStatus);
    }
    else{
        return response()->json(['error'=>'Unauthorised'], 401);
    }
}

i also tried to receive the Request in the login method as a parameter and handle it but i still do not login.

I'm using Postman to perform the request

[update]

i checked that my request() is receiving null

You can add those parameters in request body as JSON data like below

{
    "email":"test@mail.com",
    "password":"123456"

}

also add Content-Type:application/json to your request header.

then need a little bit change in your login() method to accept the JSON data received

public function login(Request $request){

        if(Auth::attempt(['email' => $request->json('email'), 'password' => $request->json('password')])){
            $user = Auth::user();
            $success['token'] =  $user->createToken('MyApp')->accessToken;
            return response()->json(['success' => $success], $this->successStatus);
        }
        else{
            return response()->json(['error'=>'Unauthorised'], 401);
        }
    }

Response:-

{
    "success": {
        "token": "eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsImp0aSI6IjAzZDA1YzRiMmRhNTc3YmQ4ZTliMTRlZjE3MWRlYWIyOTI2NTJjNjg2MDY2ZmU1ZjYzM2ZiZjBjNTc3YTM0MGM1NDUxOTczZTYxZmFjMjIzIn0.eyJhdWQiOiIxIiwianRpIjoiMDNkMDVjNGIyZGE1NzdiZDhlOWIxNGVmMTcxZGVhYjI5MjY1MmM2ODYwNjZmZTVmNjMzZmJmMGM1NzdhMzQwYzU0NTE5NzNlNjFmYWMyMjMiLCJpYXQiOjE1MTExMDcwNzAsIm5iZiI6MTUxMTEwNzA3MCwiZXhwIjoxNTQyNjQzMDcwLCJzdWIiOiIxIiwic2NvcGVzIjpbXX0.GrFth1I7PnkT7FOSQkkUEl0uc3CddUVEAgMHwFlKIIiC740B-Eu3-73IrYEH-VYXeWrZKP9FaK2lL_QR7wpZXnP20e5q4OoznVg0kqE5DsfsFw8lywUtPF7so4QcxcU3wFUKWGl4nEDTaiAJtU4UJnBcaG6Xj98jqEsGIkY9fboOI2bpbQvWPeI3k6kg1V3zE6M34tI-5s9d691NCprrPtlcBGD0sGsHwaP7Yv6j27MD3qSUboj-2KGZMtPl2ITTbTq8MSX-oJ5z-ASPlugDuF0NN-1Ru6FLW2CzFzAFh1ixVd6o0PnlK1Ep5qO6SN8_xida_lhgVqakArR_QLpyQAk0AuIixKzwnxCAaWfhE6Ljp-8sbhKY3sDawe-g05LOvxiyTgzqKBn9u_qCbkOm7e21eBbt1Pr0JKbu8_Rc5Mun-QnbaQiARs078xQnRfb3UJISluL6mKVdLdxwLeeJy38JJn6a_rm1xj5VLcBEW9sxEGdt4qwEJJML1qWP6KZ4ptJ2svx0ehebYtvDTvByxc9ONLYxSZ5i6X7nZdbgVgD7HrQby_HbvwTqcOiojvJxv3eDz5WMOZv8FSYo4UoDzsgRsSMs4QIeBkeNvstW28XuSoVoxzX_6i6IfQ-tFJ3SJWpyGKYlAnC61Jj5u0slKEneTiDY1pJnFAGIZqyw1_k"
