how do I do an authentication triage in Laravel 6.12? - laravel

Question

I am using laravel 6.12 using the Authentication artisan command
php artisan ui vue --auth
I have been following https://laraveldaily.com/auth-login-how-to-check-more-than-just-emailpassword/ website . I would like to know the steps needed to authenticate with a triage i.e company, email address and password.
I am receiving a duplicate when I add company name, it thinks this is the email address. Where do you change this? And I am recieving the following error.
BadMethodCallException
Method App\Http\Controllers\Auth\LoginController::company does not exist.
$credentials = $request->only($this->username(), 'password');
$credentials = array_add($credentials, 'company');
I need to Verify the Company name as part of the authentication process. with email, password & Company. Does anyone know how to authenticate using three authentication credentials?
use AuthenticatesUsers;
/**
* Where to redirect users after login.
*
* #var string
*/
protected $redirectTo = RouteServiceProvider::HOME;
/**
* Create a new controller instance.
*
* #return void
*/
public function __construct()
{
$this->middleware('guest')->except('logout');
}
}

Note: The tutorial you linked shows a bad way of logging in a User using a raw SQL query!. Please use a more standard way.
To login a user using multiple properties do something like this in your Controller method:
public function login(Request $request)
{
//... request validation logic
//take only what is needed to verify login
$credentials = request(['company', 'email', 'password']);
//verify login
if (!Auth::attempt($credentials)) {
return response()->json([
'message' => 'Invalid password'
], 401);
}
//Login user, as you're using Vue I assume you use either JWT or Passport
$user = $request->user();
$tokenResult = $user->createToken('Personal Access Token');
$token = $tokenResult->token;
$token->save();
return response()->json([
'access_token' => $tokenResult->accessToken,
'token_type' => 'Bearer',
]);
}
