Class App\User contains 6 abstract methods and must therefore be declared abstract

I saw this error for the first time and don't really know what to do about it. When I tried to register a new user on my website and when I clicked on submit button it shows:

FatalErrorException in User.php line 11: Class App\User contains 6 abstract methods and must therefore be declared abstract or implement the remaining methods (Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\Authenticatable::getAuthIdentifierName, Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\Authenticatable::getAuthIdentifier, Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\Authenticatable::getAuthPassword, ...)

User Model:

<?php 
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\Authenticatable;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;

class User extends Model implements Authenticatable
{
protected $table = 'users';
protected $primaryKey = 'id';   
}

What is it trying to say, I don't understand. Please can someone help me with this?

You need to either extend Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User instead of Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model, or use Illuminate\Auth\Authenticatable trait in your class

UPDATE

You need to extend Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User like this

use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;

class User extends Authenticatable
{

}

UPDATE 2

Also make sure you don't have native Laravel's App\User model in you app folder, named User.php

You are implementing Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\Authenticatable. This is interface and requires your User class to have some required methods:

public function getAuthIdentifierName();
public function getAuthIdentifier();
public function getAuthPassword();
public function getRememberToken();
public function setRememberToken($value);
public function getRememberTokenName();

If you are trying to make default User model, you should use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable and extend it instead of Model class. There is no need to implement Authenticatable interfase.
