Admin login not working on fresh install

[Ceepster14]

I've installed Laravel 5.5.25 on a Windows system running Xampp with PHP version 7.0.13 and followed the installation and quick start guides without seeing any errors.

I've made an admin user via the php artisan decoy:admin command and I can see the user setup correctly in the admins table.

However when I try to login via the /admin/login route I get a "These credentials do not match our records" error.

I don't think I've missed any configuration options, but any thoughts as to why the login is failing?

Huh! Do you see a row in the admins table (in mysql) for the admin you created?

Yes, the columns that are populated are:
id, first_name, last_name, email, password, role (admin), active (1), created_at, updated_at

Columns not populated are:
image, permissions, remember_token
