title: How can we restrict deactivated users via Auth::check in laravel 4.2
body: <p>HI, I have implemented the laravel login module using the laravel authentication. I authenticated the user using the Auth::check and sending the user_name, password in the Auth::attempt method. And I have status column in the users table. </p>
  
  <p>How can I restrict Auth::check to validate the users with status 1 only?</p>
