Answer 1

How did you seed your users table?

Maybe you did not encrypt your password correctly. And the check is always returning false because of the incorrect password.

Try to reset your password. There should be a link in your form (if you are using the default auth UI). Or you can go to password/reset in your browser to reset your password.

Set you MAIL_DRIVER=log

And check your log for the link in the email, that link will send you to a form to reset your password.

Answer 2

In your LoginController add the following function:

public function username()
{
    return 'username'; //or whatever field
}
