Php – Laravel 5 Auth::attempt always return false

laravel-5PHP

I tried to write an login system but Auth::attempt always return false to me, my code:

route:

    Route::get('/login', function () {
    return view('login');
});

    Route::post('/loginProcess', 'LoginController@login');

LoginController:

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Request;
use Auth;
use App\Http\Requests;
use Hash;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Validator;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Redirect;
class LoginController extends Controller
{
 public function login(){
        $uname = Request::get('username');
        $password = Request::get('password');
            if (Auth::attempt(array('username' => $uname, 'password' => $password))){
                return "success";
            }
            else {        
                return "Wrong Credentials";
            }
        }

}
?>

User model:

<?php
namespace App;

use Illuminate\Auth\Authenticatable;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Illuminate\Auth\Passwords\CanResetPassword;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\Authenticatable as AuthenticatableContract;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\CanResetPassword as CanResetPasswordContract;

class User extends Model implements AuthenticatableContract, CanResetPasswordContract { 
    use Authenticatable, CanResetPassword;
    protected $table = 'user';
    public $timestamps = false;
    protected $fillable = ['username', 'password'];
}

?>

Login view:

@extends('main')

@section('content')
    {!! Form::open(['url' => '/loginProcess']) !!}
        <div class="form-group">
            {!! Form::label('username', 'Username:') !!}
            {!! Form::text('username', null, ['class' => 'form-control']) !!}
        </div>

        <div class="form-group">
            {!! Form::label('password', 'Password:') !!}
            {!! Form::password('password', null, ['class' => 'form-control']) !!}
        </div>

         @if ($errors->any())
             @foreach($errors->all() as $error)
            <div class="alert alert-danger">
                    <p>{{ $error }}</p>
            </div>
            @endforeach
        @endif

        <div class="form-group">
            {!! Form::submit('Login', ['class' => 'btn btn-primary form-control']) !!}
        </div>
    {!! Form::close() !!}
@stop

DB records
Table structure

I am developing this on cloud9 IDE, and searched/goggle many posts, still can't find out the problem, is it the problem of password hash or sth? Btw, I checked that the form input can be received.

Best Answer

You can try this way..

When you registering user use bcrypt to encrypt your password before seving them to database

$password = bcrypt($input['password']);
            // OR
$psssword = bcrypt(Request::get('password'));

And because you are using username in place of default email

Your LoginController..

namespace App\Http\Controllers;

use Request;
use Auth;
use App\Http\Requests;
use Hash;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Validator;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Redirect;
class LoginController extends Controller
{

 use AuthenticatesAndRegistersUsers;

 public function loginUsername()
 {
     return 'username';
 }

 public function login(){
        $uname = Request::get('username');
        $password = Request::get('password');
            if (Auth::attempt(array('username' => $uname, 'password' => $password))){
                return "success";
            }
            else {        
                return "Wrong Credentials";
            }
        }
}

Hope this will work.
