    <input type="text" id="inputUsername" name="username" class="form-control" placeholder="Username" required autofocus>
    <label for="inputPassword" class="sr-only">Password</label>
    <input type="password" id="inputPassword" name="password" class="form-control" placeholder="Password" required>
    <button class="btn btn-lg btn-primary btn-block" type="submit">Sign in</button>

I think there is no function called csrf_field() in laravel 5, use this instead of that.

<input type="hidden" name="_token" value="{{ csrf_token() }}">

Update 2016-03-17

Laravel introduce csrf_field() in version 5.1

{{ csrf_field() }} this will generate csrf token field,

I read on the master document page of Laravel and it say about csrf_field() but when I switch to 5.0 document, your answer is correct.

You can replace your {{ csrf_field() }} with this:

<input type="hidden" name="_token" value="{{ csrf_token() }}">

You might have misunderstood this because of master documentation page of laravel. I don't why they did that. But this one is what I found to be working on the laravel-5.

The function csrf_field() isn't in regular Laravel 5 yet, even though it's on the master documentation page. You can use the helper csrf_token() instead, see e.g. the helpers documentation, and then build the field yourself from that - or create a template for it, or similar.
