php - How do I manually authenticate user in Laravel 5.4 -

i trying authenticate user in laravel 5.4, using attempt() able authenticate user, want check if user active or not , show custom message depending upon if user inactive different message , if username password different different message.

my authentication code :

public function checklogin(request $request)     {         $password = bcrypt($request->password);         $userdata = user::where('email',$request->email)->where('password',$password)->first();         if($userdata!=null)         {             $credentials=array('email' => $request->input('email'),'password' => $request->input('password'),'status' => 'active');              if(auth::guard('users')->attempt($credentials))                  return redirect()->intended('/dashboard');              else              {                 mail::to($request->email)->send(new verifyuser($userdata));                 return redirect('/')->with('error','your account unverified - check email account verification link');              }         }         else             return redirect('/')->with('error','invalid username or password');       } 

here, first want check if login credentials correct or not, if invalid directly show error message "invalid username or password", if suppose login credentails correct, trying attempt login , if user inactive want show message "you need verify account" , if user active redirect user dashboard.

but in case not able authenticate user if bcrypt password , cross check password in db table.

there many ways this, since mentioned in comment interested in getting line 4 in code work

$userdata = user::where('email',$request->email)->where('password',$password); 

line above not work since bcrypt generates new hash doesn't match hashed password in database.

you can instead:

$userdata = user::where('email',$request->email)->first();  if ($userdata && hash::check($request->password, $userdata->password)) {     // passwords match... }
