Auth::attempt changing default password to default field like in DB - database

Question

I have a form and I'm trying to login by using Laravels Auth method.
At the moment I have this snippet:
$input = Input::all();
$login = Auth::attempt([
'username' => $input['username'],
'password' => $input['password']
]);
if($login){
return "Logged in";
}
dd('problem');
But even after entering correct credentials I'm getting to see "problem"
in models/User.php I've changed my table name to tbl_login(like I have in the DB) and that is the only change I've made in it
and in my login model I have
class Login extends Eloquent {
protected $guarded = array();
protected $table = "tbl_login";
protected $primaryKey = "pk_loginID";
public static $rules = array();
}
I also checked this topic but didn't really help and I'm hoping that you guys can help me with this now.
Just as info and a sidenote: table name in Db = tbl_login
primary key field is pk_loginID
username field = username
password field = password
Did I forget something or did I do something wrong?
EDIT:
I've found the problem more specific, but not a solution for it. My password field in the DB has another name than the default password field that Laravel uses. How can I say to Laravel to use my custom password field?

Answer 1

I've found the solution
In the User model in the method getAuthPassword()
public function getAuthPassword()
{
return $this->attributes['passwordFieldinYourTable'];//change the 'passwordFieldinYourTable' with the name of your field in the table
}
That's it :)

Answer 2

You can't change it, but you probably can fix that by creating new mutators to the password field:
<?php
use Illuminate\Auth\UserInterface;
use Illuminate\Auth\Reminders\RemindableInterface;
class User extends Eloquent implements UserInterface, RemindableInterface {
...
public function getPasswordAttribute()
{
return $this->YourPasswordField;
}
public function setPasswordAttribute($password)
{
$this->YourPasswordField = $password;
}
}
