    }
}

Auth::attempt(['email' => $email, 'password' => $password]) returning false. Hash::check($password, $user->password); This is returning true. Using laravel 7 auth is not working with MongoDB. For MongoDB I am using jenssegers/mongodb 4.0.0-alpha.1. But now I'm facing error when I'm creating login authentication in Laravel controller.

Any one Please help.

Answer 1

I encountered a similar error, at login then redirest, Auth::user() returned null.

I discovered the culprit is the data type of created_at, updated_at which is string. The solution is to convert the string data type to mongoDB date

    protected $fillable = [
        'name', 'email', 'password'
    ];

    /**
     * The attributes that should be hidden for arrays.

}

After you have changed User.php and database.php.

The RegisterController.php and LoginController.php files are as it is, provided by laravel.

I don't think there will be any other files that you have to change.

You can access MongoDB Databases using NoSQLBooster for MongoDB and MongoDBCompass.
