I'm a newbie and learning laravel 5.7. Registration is done but having problem Authenticating during login, Auth::attempt always returns false

I tried using Hash::check('plain-text','Hashed password) and it returns true
The problem is Auth::attempt always returns false

UserController.php:

// Registration code
public function register(Request $request)same:confirm_password',
 'confirm_password' => 'min:6'
 ]);

 Users::create([
 'firstName' => request('firstName'),
 'lastName' => request('lastName'),
 'username' => request('username'),
 'password' => Hash::make(request('password'))
 ]);
 notify()->success('Registered Successfully!');
 return redirect('/');

 

// Login code
public function login(Request $request)

// This returns true
// if(Hash::check('123456','$2y$10$BrOg1JtnX7hAX05gbT9p0OZFQB9mFKtcz0m5Ks2rSHIN//B20dODgA.'))
// return 'OK';
// 


 $credentials = request([
 'username',
 'password'
 ]);


// Always returns false
 if(Auth::attempt($credentials))
 notify()->success('Welcome!');
 return back();

 else
 notify()->warning('Credentials not found!');
 return back();
 




 

Users.php:

//Model
class Users extends Model 

 //
 protected $guarded = [];

auth.php:

'providers' => [
 'users' => [
 'driver' => 'eloquent',
 'model' => AppUsers::class,
 ],

 // 'users' => [
 // 'driver' => 'database',
 // 'table' => 'users',
 // ],
 ],

migrations:

 public function up()
 
 Schema::create('users', function (Blueprint $table) 
 $table->bigIncrements('id');
 $table->string('username')->unique();
 $table->string('password');
 $table->string('firstName');
 $table->string('lastName');
 $table->rememberToken();
 $table->timestamps();
 );
 

login.blade.php:

<form action="/" method="post" autocomplete="on">
 @csrf
 <h1>Log in</h1>
 <p>
 <label for="Username" data-icon="u"> Username</label>
 <input id="Username" name="username" required="required" type="text" placeholder=""/>
 </p>
 <p>
 <label for="Password" data-icon="p"> Password </label>
 <input id="Password" name="password" required="required" type="password" placeholder=""/>
 </p>
 <p class="login button">
 <input type="submit" value="Login"/>
 </p>
 <p class="change_link">
 Not a member yet ?
 <a href="/register" class="to_register">Join us</a>
 </p>
 </form>

NOTE

I'm positive that I am getting the correct inputs

// Returns correct information

"username": "yeah",
"password": "123456"

You don't need to try to rewrite the Login functionality (neither Register) as these comes out of the box in Laravel. What you need to do is:

First in your login.blade.php

<form action="/login" method="post" autocomplete="on">

Then in your web.php

Route::post('login', 'AuthLoginController@login');

Now go to your AppHttpAuthLoginController

// Add this function to overwrite default email to username
public function username()

 return 'username';

Laravel uses email by default to authorize the user, so try overriding the field which you use in your LoginController add this:

public function username()

 return 'username';
