Simple one-time password authentication in Laravel
When dealing with Authentication in Laravel, there are several options out of the box. However, sometimes you need something more specific. This tutorial will look at how we can add a one-time password approach to our authentication flow.
To begin with, we will need to make some adjustments to our User model, as we no longer need a password to log in. We will also need to ensure that our name is nullable and force this to be updated through an onboarding process. This way, we will be able to have one entry route for authentication - the key difference is that now registered users will be redirected through the onboarding process.
Your users' migration should now look like the following:
id();
$table->string('name')->nullable();
$table->string('email')->unique();
$table->string('type')->default(Type::STAFF->value);
$table->timestamps();
});
}
?>
