To override login function or say login() method you need to work on LoginController.php file /app/Http/Controllers/Auth folder.
Override Login in Authentication
Open LoginController.php file from /app/Http/Controllers/Auth folder.
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers\Auth;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use App\Providers\RouteServiceProvider;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\AuthenticatesUsers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;
class LoginController extends Controller
{
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Login Controller
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| This controller handles authenticating users for the application and
| redirecting them to your home screen. The controller uses a trait
| to conveniently provide its functionality to your applications.
|
*/
use AuthenticatesUsers;
/**
* Where to redirect users after login.
*
* @var string
*/
protected $redirectTo = RouteServiceProvider::HOME;
/**
* Create a new controller instance.
*
* @return void
*/
public function __construct()
{
$this->middleware('guest')->except('logout');
}
// Custom Login form
public function showLoginForm()
{
return view("login");
}
// Add mobile number to login
public function login(Request $request)
{
$request->validate([
'mobile' => 'required',
'password' => 'required',
]);
$credentials = $request->only('mobile', 'password');
if (Auth::attempt($credentials)) {
return redirect()->route('home');
}
return redirect("login")->withSuccess('Oppes! You have entered invalid credentials');
}
}
We have added a method showLoginForm() to override the default auth login page.

Also, we updated login() method for login via mobile number and password.
Next, we need to create / update a login layout file.

Open file and write this complete code into it.
@extends('layouts.app')
@section('content')
<div class="container">
<div class="row justify-content-center">
<div class="col-md-8">
<div class="card">
<div class="card-header">{{ __('Login') }}</div>
<div class="card-body">
<form method="POST" action="{{ route('login') }}">
@csrf
<div class="row mb-3">
<label for="mobile" class="col-md-4 col-form-label text-md-right">{{ __('Mobile Number') }}</label>
<div class="col-md-6">
<input id="mobile" type="text" class="form-control @error('mobile') is-invalid @enderror" name="mobile" value="{{ old('mobile') }}" required autocomplete="mobile" autofocus>
@error('mobile')
<span class="invalid-feedback" role="alert">
<strong>{{ $message }}</strong>
</span>
@enderror
</div>
</div>
<div class="row mb-3">
<label for="password" class="col-md-4 col-form-label text-md-right">{{ __('Password') }}</label>
<div class="col-md-6">
<input id="password" type="password" class="form-control @error('password') is-invalid @enderror" name="password" required autocomplete="current-password">
@error('password')
<span class="invalid-feedback" role="alert">
<strong>{{ $message }}</strong>
</span>
@enderror
</div>
</div>
<div class="row mb-3">
<div class="col-md-6 offset-md-4">
<div class="form-check">
<input class="form-check-input" type="checkbox" name="remember" id="remember" {{ old('remember') ? 'checked' : '' }}>
<label class="form-check-label" for="remember">
{{ __('Remember Me') }}
</label>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="row mb-0">
<div class="col-md-8 offset-md-4">
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">
{{ __('Login') }}
</button>
@if (Route::has('password.request'))
<a class="btn btn-link" href="{{ route('password.request') }}">
{{ __('Forgot Your Password?') }}
</a>
@endif
</div>
</div>
</form>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
