Laravel: How can i change the default Auth Password field name

Question

I\'m currently working on my first laravel project and i\'m facing a problem.

If you have experience with laravel you probably know that by calling php artisan

Answer 1

In the app/Http/Controllers/Auth/LoginController override the default class by adding:

/**
 * Validate the user login request.
 *
 * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
 * @return void
 */
protected function validateLogin(Request $request)
{
    $this->validate($request, [
        $this->username() => 'required', 'passwd' => 'required',
    ]);
}

Don't forget to add use Illuminate\Http\Request;

It could be you have to add this too to your LoginController.

/**
     * Get the needed authorization credentials from the request.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
     * @return array
     */
    protected function credentials(Request $request)
    {
        return $request->only($this->username(), 'passwd');
    }

That should do it.
