Answer 1

The function guard is only available for routes with web middleware

public function login() {

  if(Auth::guard('web')->attempt(['email' => $email, 'password' => $password], false, false)) {requests
     // good
  } else {
    // invalid credentials, act accordingly
 }
}

Answer 2

Changing default guard to "web" fixed my problem.

config/auth.php:

'defaults' => [
        'guard' => 'web',
        'passwords' => 'users',
    ],
