// in resources/lang/en/validation.php

'auth_password' => 'The :attribute is not valid',

Use rule

Create a rule instance via RuleFactoryInterface.

// In your controller

use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Mjelamanov\Laravel\AuthPassword\Rule\RuleFactoryInterface;

public function changeUserPassword(Request $request, RuleFactoryInterface $ruleFactory)
{
    $this->validate($request, [
        'current_password' => ['bail', 'required', 'min:6', $ruleFactory->createRule()],
        'new_password' => 'bail|required|string|min:6',
        'new_password_confirmation' => 'bail|required|confirmed',
    ]);

    // Passwords are valid. Place your logic here.
}

You can specify a different guard name.

$ruleFactory->createRule(); // default application's guard
$ruleFactory->createRule('web');
$ruleFactory->createRule('api');

// or custom guard
$ruleFactory->createRule('admin');

$ruleFactory->createRule('non-existen'); // Throws \InvalidArgumentException 

Use extension

You may use the validation extension also.

// In your controller

public function changeUserPassword(Request $request)
{
    $this->validate($request, [
        'current_password' => 'bail|required|min:6|auth_password',
        'new_password' => 'bail|required|string|min:6',
        'new_password_confirmation' => 'bail|required|confirmed',
    ]);
