Hi,
if you want a custom login you can write you own auth driver.
I have used this tutorial to find my way around: http://www.karlvalentin.de/1903/write-your-own-auth-driver-for-laravel-4.html
It's for Laravel 4 though, not sure if it is compatible.
study laravel 4 first before jumping to laravel 5. Because in Laravel 4 there are tons of tutorial. Where to find tutorials through google or youtube.
