    You can’t use the agents model or the table to authenticate users straight out of the box.

    According to the Laravel documentation:

    By default, Laravel includes an AppModelsUser Eloquent model in your app/Models directory. This model may be used with the default Eloquent authentication driver.

    This means that Laravel uses the User model to authenticate users. So, you could stick with the User model that Laravel comes with or customize the default authentication driver to fit your needs. I’d recommend sticking with the default authentication driver, but it’s ultimately up to you.

    You can take a look at these references for how to create a custom authentication guard.

    I’m not entirely sure why you’re searching for the Agent model first, but you should follow these steps:

    After retrieving your agent, you need to find the User model because the login method expects an object of the User model.

    public function login(Request $request)
{
    $request->validate([
        'Email' => 'required',
        'password' => 'required',
    ]);

    // Retrieve the agent
    $agent = DB::table('agents')->where('Email', $request->Email)->first();

    // Retrieve the user associated with the agent
    $user = User::where('id', $agent->user_id)->first();

    // Log in the user
    Auth::login($user);
}
