This is only table structure. You need to change the USER model (it uses email & password for authentication) as per your requirement.

Thanks for your response @dukejib! I do know that this is only a migration. However I was more wondering if there were other files other than the User model that I should change. I posted my migration as an example of how my database is structured to give anyone who's reading this an idea of what I am doing, or at least, that was my intention.

So with that in mind, do you know how I would use the out-of-the-box auth system and just modify it to fit this?

From looking around, it seems as though this is really ingrained in Laravel, and uses a lot of classes from the Laravel package, which I hadn't realized. Seeing as how it is bad practice and inefficient to edit those, I am simply going to have to write my own login, which is fine. Shame that it is so un-configurable though. I would love to see increased functionality. Oh well. Can't have everything.

I am going to leave this thread open probably for another day just to see if anyone has any insights into this.
