LoginController

    public function username()
    {
        return 'number';
    }

RegisterController

    protected function validator(array $data)
    {
        return Validator::make($data, [
            'name' => ['required', 'string', 'max:255'],
            'number' => ['required'],
            'password' => ['required', 'string', 'min:8', 'confirmed'],
            'password_confirmation' => ['required'],
        ]);
    }

    {
        return User::create([
            'name' => $data['name'],
            'number' => $data['number'],
            'password' => Hash::make($data['password']),

Answer 1

Your User Model has email field that it:

1. requires
2. does not have default value when you try to create new user.

Go to your migrations create_users_table, and edit:

$table->string('email')->unique();

to

$table->string('email')->nullable();

But this is bad idea in my opinion, how will you identify those users later on? How will you let them reset their passwords?
