Laravel 5 Auth:attempt() always returns false - php

Question

I am trying to make a custom login with multi auth. For the meantime, I am trying to do the login for admin. When an admin logs in, the login function handles it (it also just refreshes without the login function) Auth:attempt() seems to be always returning false, however (I have a different table name and fields). Aside from that, I can freely access the dashboard by just changing the url even if the user is not really logged in.
AuthController

I have just started learning the MVC framework and started using Laravel. Thank you for the help.
Notes
My passwords are stored using bcrypt() with column length of 255
I have tried checking if the hash from the table matches my input using Hash::check. It returns true. But when I do this:
dd( Auth::guard('admin')->attempt(array('OUsername' => $username, 'OPassword' => $password)));
It is false.
Tried checking the results based on the answer from this question especially # 7. Still the same.

Answer 1

The problem seems to be with this line
'OPassword' => $password
I changed it to
'password' => $password
It has to be password not OPassword. And then in my Admin model I specified
public function getAuthPassword()
{
return $this->OPassword;
}
