Answer 1

When using Auth::attemp()You can't do:
Auth::attempt(['email' => $email, 'pass' => $password])
It should be:
Auth::attempt(['email' => $email, 'password' => $password])
So in your case you should add the following to your User model:
public function getAuthPassword()
{
return $this->attributes['pass'];
}

Answer 2

In your newSubscriber method change
$subscriber->pass = Hash::make(Input::get('password'));
to
$subscriber->pass = bcrypt(Input::get('password'));
Your Subscriber model should look like this..
<?php
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Auth\Authenticatable;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Illuminate\Auth\Passwords\CanResetPassword;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\Authenticatable as AuthenticatableContract;
use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\CanResetPassword as CanResetPasswordContract;
class Subscriber extends Model implements AuthenticatableContract, CanResetPasswordContract {
use Authenticatable, CanResetPassword;
protected $fillable = [
'firstname',
'lastname',
'email',
'pass',
'phone',
'address',
'city',
'state',
'zip'
];
protected $hidden = ['pass', 'remember_token'];
public function getAuthPassword()
{
return $this->pass;
}
}
Hope this will work.
