Showing :attribute instead of attribute name in error message

Showing :attribute instead of attribute name

I have a profile page in my application where users can update their password. The field names are 'new_password' and 'confirm_new_password,' and my password rules are as follows:

Password::min(8)
       ->mixedCase()
       ->letters()
       ->numbers()
       ->symbols()
       ->uncompromised(),

If I type an incorrect password format, it shows:
'The :attribute must contain at least one uppercase and one lowercase letter.'
instead of:
'The new_password must contain at least one uppercase and one lowercase letter.'

I have searched in issues but could not find any answers. Please help me out here.

Your environment

• version of this package: 4.8.0
• version of Laravel: ^9

Steps to reproduce

Enter wrong format of password

Expected behaviour

The new_password must contain at least one uppercase and one lowercase letter.

Actual behaviour

The :attribute must contain at least one uppercase and one lowercase letter.

Please could you attach the validation.php language file?
