I'm trying to authenticate a user through Ajax in Laravel. 

```
public function authenticate(){
        $email = Input::get('email');
        $password = Hash::make(Input::get('password'));

        if(!filter_var($email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)){
            return Response::json(["success"=>"true", "login"=>"false", "error_msg"=>"<span style='margin-bottom:20px;' class='val_error_msg'>Email is not valid!</span>"]);
        }
        elseif(Auth::attempt(['email' => $email, 'password' => $password])){
            return Response::json(["success"=>"true", "login"=>"false", "error_msg"=>"<span style='margin-bottom:20px;' class='val_error_msg'>Logged in</span>"]);
        }
        else{
            return Response::json(["success"=>"true", "login"=>"false", "error_msg"=>"<span style='margin-bottom:20px;' class='val_error_msg'>Email/password is wrong</span>"]);
        }
    }

```

Ajax call

```
    $.post(
             '/login/authenticate', // location of your php script
             { email: $("#log_email").val(), password: $("#log_password").val()}, // any data you want to send to the script
                            function( data ){  // a function to deal with the returned information
              if(data.login=='false'){
                    $("#login_response").empty();
                    $("#login_response").append(data.error_msg);
              }
 });

```

But I'm getting the `Email/password is wrong` message all the time even if the credentials are good. 

I tried `if((User::where('email', $email)->where('pasword', $password)->count())==1)` and it worked. 

What's wrong in the `Auth::attempt()` method?
