different login approach

[simplyniceweb]

How can i make auth::attempt work or manually log the user with existing table and fields:

table name: "login" instead of "users"
table field: "account_id" instead of "id"
table field: "userid" instead of "email"
table field: "user_pass" instead of "password"

What i have tried:
`
$credentials = request()->validate([
'userid' => ['required'],
'password' => ['required'],
]);

$user = User::where('userid', $credentials['userid'])
->where('user_pass',md5($credentials['password']))
->firstOrFail();
if($user) {
Auth::login($user);
// dd(Auth::check());
}
`

dd(Auth::check()); works but after refreshing it gives me null. any idea how to achieve this? thanks!

P.S i searched and mostly its laravel ui and it is deprecated and breeze i think doesn't support what i am trying to achieve.

I know i should not use md5 but that's one of the requirements to make this thing work.

No one answered so here's what i did, i am not sure if this is the standard way to do it but here you go:

User model:

public function getAuthIdentifierName()
{
    return "account_id";
}

Login controller:

$user = User::where('userid', $credentials['userid'])
        ->where('user_pass', md5($credentials['user_pass']))
        ->first();

if (!$user) {
    throw ValidationException::withMessages([
        'userid' => 'The provided credentials do not match our records.'
    ]);
}

Auth::login($user);

$request->session()->regenerate();

return redirect('/')->with('message', 'Welcome, ' . Auth::user()->userid . '!');
