Logging in a user? - laravel

Question

I'm having trouble with logging users in, everything appears to be in the right place, I get no errors in the log, but users fail to log in, I am using the correct credentials that are in my database.
Please note I have a different set up to the normal one:
My table is called test_users
My model sits in a separate namespace called Test
Here's my code:
In config>auth I have set:
'model' => '\Test\User',
'table' => 'test_users',
Here is how I call the Auth:
public function logIn()
{
$input = Input::all();
$credentials = array('email' => $input['email'], 'password' => $input['password']);
$input['remember-me'] = isset($input['remember-me']) ? true : false;
if(Auth::attempt($credentials, $input['remember-me']))
{
$this->output['message'] = 'ok';
}
else
{
$this->output['message'] = 'fail';
}
return $this->output;
}
Here's my model:
<?php namespace Test;
use Illuminate\Auth\UserInterface;
use Illuminate\Auth\Reminders\RemindableInterface;
use Eloquent;
class User extends Eloquent implements UserInterface, RemindableInterface {
/**
* The database table used by the model.
*
* #var string
*/
protected $table = 'test_users';
/**
* The attributes excluded from the model's JSON form.
*
* #var array
*/
protected $hidden = array('password');
/**
* Get the unique identifier for the user.
*
* #return mixed
*/
public function getAuthIdentifier()
{
return $this->getKey();
}
/**
* Get the password for the user.
*
* #return string
*/
public function getAuthPassword()
{
return $this->password;
}
/**
* Get the e-mail address where password reminders are sent.
*
* #return string
*/
public function getReminderEmail()
{
return $this->email;
}
}

Auth::attempt checks for a hashed password. It appears you might be trying to set them with plaintext. Try setting your passwords with Hash::make('password') if you aren't already.
