Passwordless login temporarily allows the user to access an account without a password.
In this shot, we will use a package called laravel-passwordless-login
.
You can use passwordless login during a security breach where you can’t access your account with your known password. You are then given passwordless access to make necessary changes, which can be a reset password, etc.
Run the composer command below to install the package:
composer require grosv/laravel-passwordless-login
In this example, let’s assume there’s an existing method to send emails or text messages to users.
use App\User;
use Grosv\LaravelPasswordlessLogin\LoginUrl;
function sendLoginLink()
{
$user = User::find(1);// 1 is representing the user_id it can be passed with a variable
$generator = new LoginUrl($user);
$generator->setRedirectUrl('/somewhere/else'); // Redirect the user to the page you want him to see
$url = $generator->generate();
//You can also use facade
$url = PasswordlessLogin::forUser($user)->generate();
// Send $url as an email or text message
}
The code above gets the specified user. We use the LoginUrl()
method to generate a specific link for the user account, and use setRedirectUrl()
to redirect the user to the route we want them to access.
