In my system I have two models, User and Client, each type of user will have their roles defined. Example:
User:
- Administrator
- Employee
Client:
- Manager
- Counter
- Human Resources
In my file auth.php
looks like this:
return [
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Authentication Defaults
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| This option controls the default authentication "guard" and password
| reset options for your application. You may change these defaults
| as required, but they're a perfect start for most applications.

*/
'defaults' => [
'guard' => 'user',
'passwords' => 'users',
],
/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Authentication Guards
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| Next, you may define every authentication guard for your application.
| Of course, a great default configuration has been defined for you
| here which uses session storage and the Eloquent user provider.
|
| All authentication drivers have a user provider. This defines how the
| users are actually retrieved out of your database or other storage
| mechanisms used by this application to persist your user's data.
|
| Supported: "session", "token"

NOTE: Both models have pretty much the same fields and I could use inheritance, but to avoid confusion, I chose to separate them. I believe this does not hinder authentication, but if I am wrong, let me know.
The problem is that if I try to login with some 'Client' I can not, no error message is displayed, login just does not happen.
Solution:
It seems that Laravel does not support multiple user types 'natively' at the time of authentication. It was necessary to add a 'bundle' to assist in this authentication of multiple types of users. I used this bundle: Hesto / multi-auth
