id="introduction"><a href="#introduction">Introduction</a></h2> <p>Many web applications provide a way for their users to authenticate with the application and "login". Implementing this feature in web applications can be a complex and potentially risky endeavor. For this reason, Laravel strives to give you the tools you need to implement authentication quickly, securely, and easily.</p> <p>At its core, Laravel's authentication facilities are made up of "guards" and "providers". Guards define how users are authenticated for each request. For example, Laravel ships with a <code>session</code> guard which maintains state using session storage and cookies.</p> <p>Providers define how users are retrieved from your persistent storage. Laravel ships with support for retrieving users using <a href="/docs/11.x/eloquent">Eloquent</a> and the database query builder. However, you are free to define additional providers as needed for your application.</p> <p>Your application's authentication configuration file is located at <code>config/auth.php</code>. This file contains several well-documented options for tweaking the behavior of Laravel's authentication services.</p> <div class="mb-10 max-w-2xl mx-auto px-4 py-8 shadow-lg lg:flex lg:items-center callout"> <div class="w-20 h-20 mb-6 flex items-center justify-center shrink-0 lg:mb-0 bg-purple-600"> <div class="opacity-75"><svg width="28" height="40" viewBox="0 0 28 40" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><title>lightbulb</title><path d="M12 28h4v-8h-4v8zM8 40h12v-8H8v8zm13.98-14.52c-1.001.705-1.661 1.545-1.98 2.52H8c-.416-.959-1.076-1.799-1.98-2.52A13.99 13.99 0 0 1 0 14C0 6.272 6.272 0 14 0s14 6.272 14 14a13.99 13.99 0 0 1-6.02 11.48z" fill="#FFF" fill-rule="nonzero"/></svg></div> </div> <p class="mb-0 lg:ml-6 callout"> Guards and providers should not be confused with "roles" and "permissions".

Install a <a href="/docs/11.x/starter-kits">Laravel application starter kit</a> in a fresh Laravel application. After migrating your database, navigate your browser to <code>/register</code> or any other URL that is assigned to your application. The starter kits will take care of scaffolding your entire authentication system!</p> <p><strong>Even if you choose not to use a starter kit in your final Laravel application, installing the <a href="/docs/11.x/starter-kits#laravel-breeze">Laravel Breeze</a> starter kit can be a wonderful opportunity to learn how to implement all of Laravel's authentication functionality in an actual Laravel project.</strong> Since Laravel Breeze creates authentication controllers, routes, and views for you, you can examine the code within these files to learn how Laravel's authentication features may be implemented.</p> <h3 id="introduction-database-considerations"><a href="#introduction-database-considerations">Database Considerations</a></h3> <p>By default, Laravel includes an <code>App\Models\User</code> <a href="/docs/11.x/eloquent">Eloquent model</a> in your <code>app/Models</code> directory. This model may be used with the default Eloquent authentication driver.</p> <p>If your application is not using Eloquent, you may use the <code>database</code> authentication provider which uses the Laravel query builder. If your application is using MongoDB, check out MongoDB's official <a href="https://www.mongodb.com/docs/drivers/php/laravel-mongodb/current/user-authentication/">Laravel user authentication documentation</a> .</p> <p>When building the database schema for the <code>App\Models\User</code> model, make sure the password column is at least 60 characters in length. Of course, the <code>users</code> table migration that is included in new Laravel applications already creates a column that exceeds this length.</p> <p>Also, you should verify that your <code>users</code> (or equivalent) table contains a nullable, string <code>remember_token</code> column of 100 characters. This column will be used to store a token for users that select the "remember me" option when logging into your application. Again, the default <code>users</code> table migration that is included in new Laravel applications already contains this column.</p> <h3 id="ecosystem-overview"><a href="#ecosystem-overview">Ecosystem Overview</a></h3> <p>Laravel offers several packages related to authentication. Before continuing, we'll review the general authentication ecosystem in Laravel and discuss each package's intended purpose.</p> <p>First, consider how authentication works. When using a web browser, a user will provide their username and password via a login form. If these credentials are correct, the application will store information about the authenticated user in the user's <a href="/docs/11.x/session">session</a>. A cookie issued to the browser contains the session ID so that subsequent requests to the application can associate the user with the correct session. After the session cookie is received, the application will retrieve the session data based on the session ID, note that the authentication information has been stored in the session, and will consider the user as "authenticated".</p> <p>When a remote service needs to authenticate to access an API, cookies are not typically used for authentication because there is no web browser. Instead, the remote service sends an API token to the API on each request. The application may validate the incoming token against a table of valid API tokens and "authenticate" the request as being performed by the user associated with that API token.</p> <h4 id="laravels-built-in-browser-authentication-services"><a href="#laravels-built-in-browser-authentication-services">Laravel's Built-in Browser Authentication Services</a></h4> <p>Laravel includes built-in authentication and session services which are typically accessed via the <code>Auth</code> and <code>Session</code> facades. These features provide cookie-based authentication for requests that are initiated from web browsers. They provide methods that allow you to verify a user's credentials and authenticate the user. In addition, these services will automatically store the proper authentication data in the user's session and issue the user's session cookie. A discussion of how to use these services is contained within this documentation.</p> <p><strong>Application Starter Kits</strong></p> <p>As discussed in this documentation, you can interact with these authentication services manually to build your application's own authentication layer. However, to help you get started more quickly, we have released <a href="/docs/11.x/starter-kits">free packages</a> that provide robust, modern scaffolding of the entire authentication layer. These packages are <a href="/docs/11.x/starter-kits#laravel-breeze">Laravel Breeze</a>, <a href="/docs/11.x/starter-kits#laravel-jetstream">Laravel Jetstream</a>, and <a href="/docs/11.x/fortify">Laravel Fortify</a>.</p> <p><em>Laravel Breeze</em> is a simple, minimal implementation of all of Laravel's authentication features, including login, registration, password reset, email verification, and password confirmation. Laravel Breeze's view layer is comprised of simple <a href="/docs/11.x/blade">Blade templates</a> styled with <a href="https://tailwindcss.com">Tailwind CSS</a>. To get started, check out the documentation on Laravel's <a href="/docs/11.x/starter-kits">application starter kits</a>.</p> <p><em>Laravel Fortify</em> is a headless authentication backend for Laravel that implements many of the features found in this documentation, including cookie-based authentication as well as other features such as two-factor authentication and email verification. Fortify provides the authentication backend for Laravel Jetstream or may be used independently in combination with <a href="/docs/11.x/sanctum">Laravel Sanctum</a> to provide authentication for an SPA that needs to authenticate with Laravel.</p> <p><em><a href="https://jetstream.laravel.com">Laravel Jetstream</a></em> is a robust application starter kit that consumes and exposes Laravel Fortify's authentication services with a beautiful, modern UI powered by <a href="https://tailwindcss.com">Tailwind CSS</a>, <a href="https://livewire.laravel.com">Livewire</a>, and / or <a href="https://inertiajs.com">Inertia</a>. Laravel Jetstream includes optional support for two-factor authentication, team support, browser session management, profile management, and built-in integration with <a href="/docs/11.x/sanctum">Laravel Sanctum</a> to offer API token authentication. Laravel's API authentication offerings are discussed below.</p> <h4 id="laravels-api-authentication-services"><a href="#laravels-api-authentication-services">Laravel's API Authentication Services</a></h4> <p>Laravel provides two optional packages to assist you in managing API tokens and authenticating requests made with API tokens: <a href="/docs/11.x/passport">Passport</a> and <a href="/docs/11.x/sanctum">Sanctum</a>. Please note that these libraries and Laravel's built-in cookie based authentication libraries are not mutually exclusive. These libraries primarily focus on API token authentication while the built-in authentication services focus on cookie based browser authentication. Many applications will use both Laravel's built-in cookie based authentication services and one of Laravel's API authentication packages.</p> <p><strong>Passport</strong></p> <p>Passport is an OAuth2 authentication provider, offering a variety of OAuth2 "grant types" which allow you to issue various types of tokens. In general, this is a robust and complex package for API authentication. However, most applications do not require the complex features offered by the OAuth2 spec, which can be confusing for both users and developers. In addition, developers have been historically confused about how to authenticate SPA applications or mobile applications using OAuth2 authentication providers like Passport.</p> <p><strong>Sanctum</strong></p> <p>In response to the complexity of OAuth2 and developer confusion, we set out to build a simpler, more streamlined authentication package that could handle both first-party web requests from a web browser and API requests via tokens. This goal was realized with the release of <a href="/docs/11.x/sanctum">Laravel Sanctum</a>, which should be considered the preferred and recommended authentication package for applications that will be offering a first-party web UI in addition to an API, or will be powered by a single-page application (SPA) that exists separately from the backend Laravel application, or applications that offer a mobile client.</p> <p>Laravel Sanctum is a hybrid web / API authentication package that can manage your application's entire authentication process. This is possible because when Sanctum based applications receive a request, Sanctum will first determine if the request includes a session cookie that references an authenticated session. Sanctum accomplishes this by calling Laravel's built-in authentication services which we discussed earlier. If the request is not being authenticated via a session cookie, Sanctum will inspect the request for an API token. If an API token is present, Sanctum will authenticate the request using that token. To learn more about this process, please consult Sanctum's <a href="/docs/11.x/sanctum#how-it-works">"how it works"</a> documentation.</p> <p>Laravel Sanctum is the API package we have chosen to include with the <a href="https://jetstream.laravel.com">Laravel Jetstream</a> application starter kit because we believe it is the best fit for the majority of web application's authentication needs.</p> <h4 id="summary-choosing-your-stack"><a href="#summary-choosing-your-stack">Summary and Choosing Your Stack</a></h4> <p>In summary, if your application will be accessed using a browser and you are building a monolithic Laravel application, your application will use Laravel's built-in authentication services.</p> <p>Next, if your application offers an API that will be consumed by third parties, you will choose between <a href="/docs/11.x/passport">Passport</a> or <a href="/docs/11.x/sanctum">Sanctum</a> to provide API token authentication for your application. In general, Sanctum should be preferred when possible since it is a simple, complete solution for API authentication, SPA authentication, and mobile authentication, including support for "scopes" or "abilities".</p> <p>If you are building a single-page application (SPA) that will be powered by a Laravel backend, you should use <a href="/docs/11.x/sanctum">Laravel Sanctum</a>. When using Sanctum, you will either need to <a href="#authenticating-users">manually implement your own backend authentication routes</a> or utilize <a href="/docs/11.x/fortify">Laravel Fortify</a> as a headless authentication backend service that provides routes and controllers for features such as registration, password reset, email verification, and more.</p> <p>Passport may be chosen when your application absolutely needs all of the features provided by the OAuth2 specification.</p> <p>And, if you would like to get started quickly, we are pleased to recommend <a href="/docs/11.x/starter-kits#laravel-breeze">Laravel Breeze</a> as a quick way to start a new Laravel application that already uses our preferred authentication stack of Laravel's built-in authentication services and Laravel Sanctum.</p> <h2 id="authentication-quickstart"><a href="#authentication-quickstart">Authentication Quickstart</a></h2> <div class="mb-10 max-w-2xl mx-auto px-4 py-8 shadow-lg lg:flex lg:items-center callout"> <div class="w-20 h-20 mb-6 flex items-center justify-center shrink-0 lg:mb-0 bg-red-600"> <div class="opacity-75"><svg width="6" height="35" viewBox="0 0 6 35" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><title>exclamation</title><path d="M0 29h6v6H0v-6zM0 0h6v24H0V0z" fill="#FFF" fill-rule="nonzero"/></svg> </div> </div> <p class="mb-0 lg:ml-6 callout"> This portion of the documentation discusses authenticating users via the <a href="/docs/11.x/starter-kits">Laravel application starter kits</a>, which includes UI scaffolding to help you get started quickly.

While handling an incoming request, you may access the authenticated user via the <code>Auth</code> facade's <code>user</code> method:</p> <pre><code data-theme="olaolu-palenight" data-lang="php" class='torchlight' style='background-color: #292D3E; --theme-selection-background: #7580B850;'><div class='line'><span style="color: #C792EA;">use</span><span style="color: #BFC7D5;"> Illuminate\Support\Facades\</span><span style="color: #FFCB8B;">Auth</span><span style="color: #BFC7D5;">;</span></div><div class='line'> </div><div class='line'><span style="color: #697098;">//</span><span style="color: #697098;"> Retrieve the currently authenticated user...</span></div><div class='line'><span style="color: #BEC5D4;">$user</span><span style="color: #BFC7D5;"> </span><span style="color: #C792EA;">=</span><span style="color: #BFC7D5;"> </span><span style="color: #FFCB8B;">Auth</span><span style="color: #89DDFF;">::</span><span style="color: #82AAFF;">user</span><span style="color: #BFC7D5;">();</span></div><div class='line'> </div><div class='line'><span style="color: #697098;">//</span><span style="color: #697098;"> Retrieve the currently authenticated user's ID...</span></div><div class='line'><span style="color: #BEC5D4;">$id</span><span style="color: #BFC7D5;"> </span><span style="color: #C792EA;">=</span><span style="color: #BFC7D5;"> </span><span style="color: #FFCB8B;">Auth</span><span style="color: #89DDFF;">::</span><span style="color: #82AAFF;">id</span><span style="color: #BFC7D5;">();</span></div></code></pre> <p>Alternatively, once a user is authenticated, you may access the authenticated user via an <code>Illuminate\Http\Request</code> instance.

Since this middleware is already aliased internally by Laravel, all you need to do is attach the middleware to a route definition:</p> <pre><code data-theme="olaolu-palenight" data-lang="php" class='torchlight' style='background-color: #292D3E; --theme-selection-background: #7580B850;'><div class='line'><span style="color: #FFCB8B;">Route</span><span style="color: #89DDFF;">::</span><span style="color: #82AAFF;">get</span><span style="color: #BFC7D5;">(</span><span style="color: #D9F5DD;">'</span><span style="color: #C3E88D;">/flights</span><span style="color: #D9F5DD;">'</span><span style="color: #BFC7D5;">, </span><span style="color: #C792EA;">function</span><span style="color: #BFC7D5;"> </span><span style="color: #D9F5DD;">()</span><span style="color: #BFC7D5;"> {</span></div><div class='line'><span style="color: #BFC7D5;"> </span><span style="color: #697098;">//</span><span style="color: #697098;"> Only authenticated users may access this route...</span></div><div class='line'><span style="color: #BFC7D5;">})</span><span style="color: #89DDFF;">-></span><span style="color: #82AAFF;">middleware</span><span style="color: #BFC7D5;">(</span><span style="color: #D9F5DD;">'</span><span style="color: #C3E88D;">auth</span><span style="color: #D9F5DD;">'</span><span style="color: #BFC7D5;">);</span></div></code></pre> <h4 id="redirecting-unauthenticated-users"><a href="#redirecting-unauthenticated-users">Redirecting Unauthenticated Users</a></h4> <p>When the <code>auth</code> middleware detects an unauthenticated user, it will redirect the user to the <code>login</code> <a href="/docs/11.x/routing#named-routes">named route</a>.

pairs as its first argument. The values in the array will be used to find the user in your database table. So, in the example above, the user will be retrieved by the value of the <code>email</code> column. If the user is found, the hashed password stored in the database will be compared with the <code>password</code> value passed to the method via the array. You should not hash the incoming request's <code>password</code> value, since the framework will automatically hash the value before comparing it to the hashed password in the database. An authenticated session will be started for the user if the two hashed passwords match.</p> <p>Remember, Laravel's authentication services will retrieve users from your database based on your authentication guard's "provider" configuration. In the default <code>config/auth.php</code> configuration file, the Eloquent user provider is specified and it is instructed to use the <code>App\Models\User</code> model when retrieving users. You may change these values within your configuration file based on the needs of your application.</p> <p>The <code>attempt</code> method will return <code>true</code> if authentication was successful. Otherwise, <code>false</code> will be returned.</p> <p>The <code>intended</code> method provided by Laravel's redirector will redirect the user to the URL they were attempting to access before being intercepted by the authentication middleware. A fallback URI may be given to this method in case the intended destination is not available.</p> <h4 id="specifying-additional-conditions"><a href="#specifying-additional-conditions">Specifying Additional Conditions</a></h4> <p>If you wish, you may also add extra query conditions to the authentication query in addition to the user's email and password. To accomplish this, we may simply add the query conditions to the array passed to the <code>attempt</code> method.

First, the request's <code>password</code> field is determined to actually match the authenticated user's password. If the password is valid, we need to inform Laravel's session that the user has confirmed their password. The <code>passwordConfirmed</code> method will set a timestamp in the user's session that Laravel can use to determine when the user last confirmed their password.

The <code>Authenticatable</code> implementation matching the ID should be retrieved and returned by the method.</p> <p>The <code>retrieveByToken</code> function retrieves a user by their unique <code>$identifier</code> and "remember me" <code>$token</code>, typically stored in a database column like <code>remember_token</code>. As with the previous method, the <code>Authenticatable</code> implementation with a matching token value should be returned by this method.</p> <p>The <code>updateRememberToken</code> method updates the <code>$user</code> instance's <code>remember_token</code> with the new <code>$token</code>. A fresh token is assigned to users on a successful "remember me" authentication attempt or when the user is logging out.</p> <p>The <code>retrieveByCredentials</code> method receives the array of credentials passed to the <code>Auth::attempt</code> method when attempting to authenticate with an application. The method should then "query" the underlying persistent storage for the user matching those credentials. Typically, this method will run a query with a "where" condition that searches for a user record with a "username" matching the value of <code>$credentials['username']</code>. The method should return an implementation of <code>Authenticatable</code>. <strong>This method should not attempt to do any password validation or authentication.</strong></p> <p>The <code>validateCredentials</code> method should compare the given <code>$user</code> with the <code>$credentials</code> to authenticate the user. For example, this method will typically use the <code>Hash::check</code> method to compare the value of <code>$user->getAuthPassword()</code> to the value of <code>$credentials['password']</code>. This method should return <code>true</code> or <code>false</code> indicating whether the password is valid.</p> <p>The <code>rehashPasswordIfRequired</code> method should rehash the given <code>$user</code>'s password if required and supported. For example, this method will typically use the <code>Hash::needsRehash</code> method to determine if the <code>$credentials['password']</code> value needs to be rehashed. If the password needs to be rehashed, the method should use the <code>Hash::make</code> method to rehash the password and update the user's record in the underlying persistent storage.</p> <h3 id="the-authenticatable-contract"><a href="#the-authenticatable-contract">The Authenticatable Contract</a></h3> <p>Now that we have explored each of the methods on the <code>UserProvider</code>, let's take a look at the <code>Authenticatable</code> contract.

The <code>getAuthIdentifierName</code> method should return the name of the "primary key" column for the user and the <code>getAuthIdentifier</code> method should return the "primary key" of the user. When using a MySQL back-end, this would likely be the auto-incrementing primary key assigned to the user record. The <code>getAuthPasswordName</code> method should return the name of the user's password column. The <code>getAuthPassword</code> method should return the user's hashed password.</p> <p>This interface allows the authentication system to work with any "user" class, regardless of what ORM or storage abstraction layer you are using. By default, Laravel includes an <code>App\Models\User</code> class in the <code>app/Models</code> directory which implements this interface.</p> <h2 id="automatic-password-rehashing"><a href="#automatic-password-rehashing">Automatic Password Rehashing</a></h2> <p>Laravel's default password hashing algorithm is bcrypt.
