Autnenticate from different table in laravel - laravel

Question

I have a table called customusers. I want to authenticate from this table. I am successful in registering the users and storing in customusers table but i am not able to login using Auth::atempt.
Below is my code
auth.php
<?php
return [
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Authentication Defaults
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| This option controls the default authentication "guard" and password
| reset options for your application. You may change these defaults
| as required, but they're a perfect start for most applications.
|
*/
'defaults' => [
'guard' => 'web',
'passwords' => 'users',
],
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Authentication Guards
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Next, you may define every authentication guard for your application.
| Of course, a great default configuration has been defined for you
| here which uses session storage and the Eloquent user provider.
|
| All authentication drivers have a user provider. This defines how the
| users are actually retrieved out of your database or other storage
| mechanisms used by this application to persist your user's data.
|
| Supported: "session", "token"
|
*/
'guards' => [
'web' => [
'driver' => 'session',
'provider' => 'users',
],
'custom' =>[
'driver' => 'session',
'provider' => 'customusers'

'driver' => 'token',

'driver' => 'token',
'provider' => 'customusers',
'hash' => false,
],
],
/*

| User Providers
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| All authentication drivers have a user provider. This defines how the

|
| If you have multiple user tables or models you may configure multiple

| be assigned to any extra authentication guards you have defined.
|
| Supported: "database", "eloquent"
|

| Resetting Passwords
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| You may specify multiple password reset configurations if you have more
| than one user table or model in the application and you want to have
| separate password reset settings based on the specific user types.
|
| The expire time is the number of minutes that the reset token should be
| considered valid. This security feature keeps tokens short-lived so
| they have less time to be guessed. You may change this as needed.

Answer 1

If I am understanding it correctly you can try using the https://packalyst.com/packages/package/sboo/multiauth for multiple auth tables.

Answer 2

you should use custom guard when using Auth Methods.
so when attempting to authenticate users use this
Auth::guard('custom')->attempt()
