If you're following this guide: http://laravel.com/docs/5.1/authentication

You shouldn't make any query manually:

if (Auth::attempt(['email' => $email, 'password' => $password, 'active' => 1])) { // The user is active, not suspended, and exists. }

You can pass to attempt an array with all keys you want. The password value will be automatically hashed, you can add all fields you need to that array.

Worked perfectly, thank you so much sir.

Where exactly is that line? I can't seem to find it in my installation. I am using Laravel 5.2

Or should I create a new Controller, with only that function and then modify my routes to point to that controller ?

Would also like to know where to change this?

Anyone please help me out, I am also stuck to validate users while getting logged-in. I want to validate users having column 'active'. Users should not be get logged-in if they have 0 in active column means inactive state.

Thanks.

Finally I found the answer from a champion :-)
