title: Laravel 5.5: Use another table for authentication instead of 'users'
body: <p>I want to use another table instead of <code>users</code> for authentication. I know I can change the table name in <code>User.php</code> as follows:</p>
  
  <pre><code>protected $table = 'WhatEver';
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But this is not what I want. I want to change the name in the backend of the application so that a completely different model is used. How can I achieve that? What files do I need to change?</p>
