Laravel 9: change table and fields for authentication and login

Question

I have changed the table and the Laravel Breeze fields for authentication to some custom ones. It looks fine but in AuthenticatedSessionController.php while I get Auth::Check() == true when it executes return redirect()->intended(RouteServiceProvider::HOME); I get redirected to login page without any error message.

AuthenticatedSessionController.php

public function store(LoginRequest $request)
{
    $request->authenticate();

    $request->session()->regenerate();
    //Auth::Check() == true here I get true.

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

I have only modified $user->getAuthPassword to return the new field for password and the protected $table variable (and fillables) in user model to show the new table.

Answer 1

Did you specify the protected $primaryKey if your custom table primary key is not 'id'. In my case, it redirected me to dashboard when I specify the $primaryKey.

Answer 2

If you go to LoginRequest Class, you'll see authenticate()

there you see this part :

if (! Auth::attempt($this->only('username', 'password'), $this->boolean('remember'))) {
    RateLimiter::hit($this->throttleKey());

    throw ValidationException::withMessages([
        'email' => __('auth.failed'),
    ]);
}

Change this :

$this->only('username', 'password')

To this :

[
    'name' => $this->input('username'),
    'password' => $this->input('password'),
]

Actually you just enter DB columns as array keys and Request inputs as values.
