How to authenticate a user using other column than password in Laravel 8?


I want to authenticate a user in my Laravel 8 app using email and password_new instead of email and password. I tried the following but kept getting the error Undefined index: password.

Here is the view:

<form action="{{ route('login') }}" method="post" autocomplete="off">
     @csrf
     <div class="card">
        <div class="card-body">
           <div class="form-group">
              <label for="" class="col-form-label">Email</label>
              <input type="text" name="email" id="" class="form-control">
           </div>
           <div class="form-group">
              <label for="" class="col-form-label">Password</label>
              <input type="password" name="password" id="" class="form-control">
           </div>
           <div class="form-group">
              <input type="checkbox" name="remember" id=""> Remember me
           </div>
        </div>
        <div class="card-footer d-grid">
           <button class="btn btn-primary">Login</button>
        </div>
     </div>
  </form>

This is what I have done in the controller:

public function store(Request $request)
{
    $request->validate([
        'email' => 'required|email',
        'password' => 'required',
    ]);

    if (Auth::attempt(['email' => $request->email, 'password_new' => $request->password], $request->remember)){
        $request->session()->regenerate();

        return redirect()->intended(RouteServiceProvider::HOME);
    }

    return back()->withErrors(['error' => 'Login gagal. Silakan coba lagi.']);

}

Solution

  • In User model implement \Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\Authenticatable and add below method to override password field

    public function getAuthPassword()
    {
      return $this->password_new;
    }
    

    and auth attempt method

    Auth::attempt(["email"=>"","password"=>"");
    

    User model look like this

    <?php
    
    namespace App\Models;
    
    // use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\MustVerifyEmail;
    use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Factories\HasFactory;
    use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
    use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;
    use Laravel\Sanctum\HasApiTokens;
    
    class User extends Authenticatable implements \Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\Authenticatable
    {
        use HasApiTokens, HasFactory, Notifiable;
    
    
        /**
         * The attributes that are mass assignable.
         *
         * @var array<int, string>
         */
        protected $fillable = [
            'name',
            'email',
            'password',
        ];
    
        /**
         * The attributes that should be hidden for serialization.
         *
         * @var array<int, string>
         */
        protected $hidden = [
            'password',
            'remember_token',
        ];
    
        /**
         * The attributes that should be cast.
         *
         * @var array<string, string>
         */
        protected $casts = [
            'email_verified_at' => 'datetime',
            'password' => 'hashed',
        ];
    
    
        public function getAuthPassword()
        {
            return $this->password_new;
        }
    
    }
