Laravel 5.7 Authentication error credentials not matching records – Phpmyadmin

so i’m doing this uni project in Laravel 5.7 and i wanted to add authentication, i installed the premade Laravel authentication solution using this command

php artisan make:auth

But i noticed it uses email instead of a username, in the context of my project the email isn’t even one of the attributes of a user so i did a little research on how to use a username for authentication instead of an e-mail and i followed a video tutorial on youtube but i didn’t work for me even though i did the exact same steps. This is my users table structure : (id, username, password, telephone, usertype, remember_token, created_at, updated_at)

this is my login.blade.php file:

@extends('layouts.app')

@section('content')
<div class="container">
    <div class="row justify-content-center">
        <div class="col-md-8">
            <div class="card">
                <div class="card-header">{{ __('Login') }}</div>

                <div class="card-body">
                    <form method="POST" action="{{ route('login') }}">
                        @csrf

                        <div class="form-group row">
                            <label for="username" class="col-md-4 col-form-label text-md-right">{{ __('Pseudo Utilisateur') }}</label>

                            <div class="col-md-6">

This is user.php

<?php

namespace App;

use IlluminateNotificationsNotifiable;
use IlluminateContractsAuthMustVerifyEmail;
use IlluminateFoundationAuthUser as Authenticatable;

class User extends Authenticatable
{
    use Notifiable;

    /**
     * The attributes that are mass assignable.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $fillable = [
        'username', 'password', 'telephone', 'usertype'
    ];

    /**
     * The attributes that should be hidden for arrays.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $hidden = [
        'password', 'remember_token',
    ];
}

this is LoginController

<?php

namespace AppHttpControllersAuth;

use AppHttpControllersController;
use IlluminateFoundationAuthAuthenticatesUsers;

class LoginController extends Controller
{
    /*
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------

    |
    */

    use AuthenticatesUsers;

    /**
     * Where to redirect users after login.
     *
     * @var string
     */
    protected $redirectTo = '/home';

    /**
     * Create a new controller instance.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->middleware('guest')->except('logout');
    }

    public function username(){

      return 'username';
    }
}

Thanks in advance.
