By default, the login feature uses checking based on email instead of a username. Then what if we want to check based on username? Here's how.
On the file Controller\Auth\LoginController.php add the following methods:
<pre><code>public function username()
{
 return 'username';
}
</code></pre>in blade:
<pre><code>&lt;input id="username" type="text" class="form-control @error('username') is-invalid @enderror" name="username" value="{{ old('username') }}" required autofocus&gt;
</code></pre>Thanks!

On the file **Controller\Auth\LoginController.php** add the following methods:

in blade:

```
<input id="username" type="text" class="form-control @error('username') is-invalid @enderror" name="username" value="{{ old('username') }}" required autofocus>
```
