(Part 2) Logging In Multiple Users - Native Multi Auth in Laravel 5.4

The previous video we set up multiple authentication guards and multiple authentication models natively in Laravel 5.4. Everything works well and our middleware is already protecting our pages. But now we need to let users log in. We already have access to the normal user's login page. But the problem is we don't have a way to let our Admins log in.

In this video I will show you how to create a LoginController for our Admins to manage their login functionality. We are also going to make a login form, by simply duplicating the form that Users already have, but for your app you might want to make a custom login form for each user and you can do that here in your views.

For the most part this video will be pretty straightforward for advanced Laravel devs. I recommend skipping this video if you don't feel like you need it.

One challenging part might be how to log the user in. In this section of the controller we use the Auth::attempt function to log the user in using the native Laravel Auth facade.

@DevMarketer thank you very much for this walk through. Very informative and professionally done. I just wanted to add my 2 cents after struggling with custom multiple auth controllers, guards and middleware. I believe it is important to avoid overriding built-in Laravel functionality where possible, from many reasons but the most important one is to that you minimize the risk that your authentication will break in future versions . I've found that Instead of re-creating the whole login method inside the controller (which is inherited from the `AuthenticatesUsers` trait), it's easier to add a `guard` method to the custom login Controller that returns `Auth::guard('admin')`- this assumes that the credentials field names are the same of course. This way we use the build in login method and if it ever gets changed in the framework nothing breaks (my project starts as early as Laravel 4 an I saw way too many changes to the authentication methods). Hope it makes sense and helps someone. Keep up the good work!

Thank you. Your first video made me realize of something. :)

[TedCelestin]

Really good video. I would recommend to anyone trying to learn more about laravel login in general.

[exsitewebsolution]

this is immeasurably helpful. Thank you so much

[nashoshinoda]

Man, cool videos! I was looking to this kind of tutorial like 3 weeks! I'm nooby with laravel so this will be so useful to me.

By the way, I noticed you used to get some files going through the files. I think you're using Sublime so you can hint CTRL+P and type the file you are looking for. That could be save you a few seconds on your videos.

Keep working like this, man! You're going great!

[khalidmahmud]

Your videos are helping me a lot. Thanks Man.
