Auth::check() returns false after successful login attempt

I’m trying to make a custom guard and I am successful, but when I attempt a login using the guard the

$this->attemptLogin($request) returns true but after directly afterwards the Auth::check() method returns false

/**
 * Handle a login request to the application.
 *
 * @param  IlluminateHttpRequest  $request
 * @return IlluminateHttpRedirectResponse|IlluminateHttpResponse|IlluminateHttpJsonResponse
 *
 * @throws IlluminateValidationValidationException
 */
public function login(Request $request)
{
    $this->validateLogin($request);

    // If the class is using the ThrottlesLogins trait, we can automatically throttle
    // the login attempts for this application. We'll key this by the username and
    // the IP address of the client making these requests into this application.
    if (method_exists($this, 'hasTooManyLoginAttempts') &&
        $this->hasTooManyLoginAttempts($request)) {
        $this->fireLockoutEvent($request);

        return $this->sendLockoutResponse($request);
    }

    if ($this->attemptLogin($request)) { // Returns true
        dd(Auth::check());               // Returns false
        return $this->sendLoginResponse($request);
    }

    // If the login attempt was unsuccessful we will increment the number of attempts
    // to login and redirect the user back to the login form. Of course, when this
    // user surpasses their maximum number of attempts they will get locked out.
    $this->incrementLoginAttempts($request);

    return $this->sendFailedLoginResponse($request);
}

The model used extends IlluminateFoundationAuthUser

I also overrided the getAuthPassword method because you log in using a access_code

I also defined $guard and made a guard for it in auth.php using session as the driver

I’ve read similar problems but they suggested that the PK should be called id and be auto_increment.

I do meet those conditions.

I also overrided the guard method in the LoginController and it contains the use AuthenticatesUsers; line

I’m using Laravel version 6.5.1

I also do not get an error.

below are the whole classes:

LoginController:

namespace AppHttpControllersAuth;

use AppHttpControllersController;
use IlluminateFoundationAuthAuthenticatesUsers;

    */

    use AuthenticatesUsers;

    /**
     * Where to redirect users after login.
     *
     * @var string
     */
    protected $redirectTo = '/home';

    /**

    public function __construct()
    {

    }

    /**

     *

     */
    protected function guard()
    {
        return Auth::guard("contestant");
    }
}

Answer

Your default guard is web. When you call Auth::... without specifying the guard it will use the default guard.

In your LoginController you are defining the guard to be used as the contestant guard from the guard method. You would need to check that guard not the web guard. You can use the guard returned from that method to check instead of Auth::check():

dd($this->guard()->check());
