its correct, is there any error message (debug)? post your complete Auth configuration

This in my login page (UserController)

public function index()
{ 
       $this->layout='mylayout';
		 $users = TableRegistry::get('tabl_reg');
		$query = $users->find();
		$this->set('results',$query);
		
		if($this->request->is('post'))
		{
		 
			$user = $this->Auth->identify();
        
			if($user)
			{
				$this->Auth->setUser($user);
		   
				$session = $this->request->session();
				$session->write('user_id',$user);
				return $this->redirect(array('action' => 'home'));
			} 
			else
			?><script>alert("Your username or password is incorrect");</script><?php
	 
     }
}

But it will show always Alert message (if typing right email & password )
in same case while changing ‘fields’ => [‘username’ => ‘username’, ‘password’ => ‘password’] it is working …

AppController.php

    namespace App\Controller;
    use Cake\Controller\Controller;
    use Cake\Event\Event;
    use Cake\Controller\Component\AuthComponent;
    use Cake\Network\Session\DatabaseSession;

     class AppController extends Controller{
     public function initialize(){
     parent::initialize();
     
     $this->loadComponent('RequestHandler');
     $this->loadComponent('Flash');
     $this->loadComponent('Auth', [
        'authenticate' => [
           'Form' => [
              'fields' => ['username' => 'username', 'password' => 'password']
           ]
        ],
        'loginAction' => ['controller' => 'Users', 'action' => 'index'],
        'loginRedirect' => ['controller' => 'Users', 'action' => 'home'],
        'logoutRedirect' => ['controller' => 'Users', 'action' => 'index']
     ]);
  
     $this->Auth->config('authenticate', [
        AuthComponent::ALL => ['userModel' => 'tabl_reg'], 'Form']);
  }

  public function beforeRender(Event $event){
     if (!array_key_exists('_serialize', $this->viewVars) &&
     in_array($this->response->type(), ['application/json', 'application/xml'])) {
        $this->set('_serialize', true);
     }
  }
}

i think the problem is your user model set in this line:

$this->Auth->config('authenticate', [
        AuthComponent::ALL => ['userModel' => 'tabl_reg'], 'Form']);

remove the line and set in the auth array:

$this->loadComponent('Auth', [
    'loginAction' => ['controller' => 'Users', 'action' => 'index'],
    'loginRedirect' => ['controller' => 'Users', 'action' => 'home'],
    'logoutRedirect' => ['controller' => 'Users', 'action' => 'index'],
    'unauthorizedRedirect' => $this->referer(),
    'authError' => 'Error msg.',
    'authenticate' => [
        'Form' => [
            'userModel' => 'Users', //i belive tabl_reg is the table for model Users correct? so it should be Users here
            //'finder' => 'auth', //here you can create a custom finder if you need return more user information in the auth user session
            'fields' => ['username' => 'email', 'password' => 'password'],
        ]
    ]
]);

have you changed your login html form input name? like
<?php echo $this->Form->control('email'); ?>

8 
 echo $this->Form->input('email',array('label'=>'','class'=>' ','placeholder'=>'Enter Your Email','required'=>'true'));
 echo $this->Form->input('password',array('label'=>'','class'=>'' ,'placeholder'=>'Password','required'=>'true')); ?>
