Laravel authentication two tables

I am trying to use Laravel's built-in Authentication class. Upon reading it, it seems that it only looks into one table as per the config/auth.php file. As per the doc, I can use syntax like this:

if (Auth::attempt(['email' => $email, 'password' => $password, 'active' => 1])) {
    // The user is active, not suspended, and exists.
}

My concern is, the email column is in my user table while password is in auth table. As I stated above, my understanding of Laravel's authentication is it only looks for one table only. Did I miss something?
