How to customize authentication fields in Laravel 6

Question

I’m trying to do a custom login with Laravel 6, but it’s not working.

I have the following code:

public function postLogin(Request $request)
{
    request()->validate([
        'email' => 'required',
        'senha' => 'required',
    ]);

    $credentials = $request->only('email', 'senha'); 

    if (Auth::attempt($credentials)) { 
        return redirect()->intended('dashboard');
    }
    return Redirect::to("login")->withSuccess('Oppes! You have entered invalid credentials');
}

Knowing that, Laravel works with its standard variables like email and password, I already changed in model

class User extends Authenticatable
{
   use Notifiable;

   protected $table = 'usuarios';
   public $timestamps = false;

   protected $fillable = ['email', 'senha', 'nivel_id', 'data_cadastro', 'status', 'assinante', 'site_id', 'tipo_conta_id'];

}

In BD the columns are with the names of: "email" and "password", I believe I have to change this name pattern, instead of "password", change to "password", because when I try to debug Auth::attempt($credentials) he always returns false.

Change your user model by overriding the method that returns the name of the password field:

public function getAuthPassword(){  
    return $this->senha;
}

In the form keep the input name as "password".
