Answer 1

I solved this problem

In config/auth.php configuration:

'user' => [
    'driver' => 'token',
    'provider' => 'userProvider',
],

We need to change to:

'user' => [
    'driver' => 'session',
    'provider' => 'userProvider',
],

Because Auth::guard data is stored in the session

And further work on the well-known scheme

Auth::login() = Auth::guard('user')->login()
Auth::attempt() = Auth::guard('user')->attempt()
Auth::user() = Auth::guard('user')->user()
...
