From within Tinker I am trying to:

>>> Auth::loginUsingId(12);
=> false
>>> Auth::user();
=> null
>>> Auth::attempt(['email' => '[email protected]']);
=> false

I am guessing that since Auth typically uses session data, and maybe sessions don't work with tinker.

Is it possible to authenticate within tinker?

It's possible to login in Tinker. For example:

auth()->loginUsingId(1)
auth()->id()

Normally, the output of the auth()->id() will be 1.

If it doesn't work for you, make sure the storage directory is writable:

sudo chmod -R 755 storage

You're also doing it wrong when you're using the attempt() method. The correct syntax is:

attempt(['email' => '[email protected]', 'password' => 'secret'])
