Cakephp 3.2 Users can't Log in - php

Question

I am working on a personal project and I have searched through multiple topics that are related to my issue and I cannot find a solution to my problem.
Whenever I enter an email and password on my login page it always give me an invalid username or password pop up. I debugged a part of code in my UserloginController and it just returns false. There is probably a problem here but i cannot see it.
Some solutions for other people were to change the VARCHAR length of the password field, my password field is already a VARCHAR(255) and it hashes properly so this is not the problem.
Here is my AppController
class AppController extends Controller
{
public function isAuthorized($user = null)
{
// Any registered user can access public functions
if (empty($this->request->params['prefix'])) {
return true;
}
// Only admins can access admin functions
if ($this->request->params['prefix'] === 'admin') {
return (bool)($user['role'] === 'admin');
}
// Default deny
return false;
}
public function initialize()
{
$this->loadComponent('Flash');
$this->loadComponent('Auth', [
'authenticate' => [
'Form' => [
'userModel' => 'userlogin',
'fields' => [
'username' => 'email',
'password' => 'password'
]
]
],
'loginAction' => [
'controller' => 'userlogin',
'action' => 'login'
],
'logoutRedirect' => [
'controller' => 'userlogin',
'action' => 'login'
],
]);
// Allow the display action so our pages controller
// continues to work.
$this->Auth->allow(['display']);
}
public function beforeRender(Event $event)
{
if (!array_key_exists('_serialize', $this->viewVars) &&
in_array($this->response->type(), ['application/json', 'application/xml'])
) {
$this->set('_serialize', true);
}
}
}
Here is my UserLoginController
class UserloginController extends AppController
{
public function initialize() {
parent::initialize();
$this->Auth->allow(['logout', 'add']);
}
//login
public function login(){
if ($this->request->is('post')) {
$user = $this->Auth->identify();
debug($this->Auth->identify()); // Returns False
if ($user) {
$this->Auth->setUser($user);
return $this->redirect($this->Auth->redirectUrl());
}
$this->Flash->error('Your username or password is incorrect.');
}
}
public function logout() {
$this->Flash->success('You are now logged out.');
return $this->redirect($this->Auth->logout());
}
public function beforeFilter(Event $event) {
parent::beforeFilter($event);
$this->Auth->allow('logout', 'login', 'index', 'add'); //you can add others here...
}
}
And Here is my Login.ctp
<br>
<div class="index large-4 medium-4 large-offset-4 medium-offset-4 columns">
<div class="panel">
<h1>Login</h1>
<?= $this->Form->create(); ?>
<?= $this->Form->input('email'); ?>
<?= $this->Form->input('password'); ?>
<?= $this->Form->button('Login'); ?>
<?= $this->Form->end(); ?>
Any sort of help will be greatly appreciated!
