Laravel Jetstream provides a comprehensive set of features for handling user authentication and registration. Here's a breakdown of how Jetstream handles these aspects:
1. Registration:
- Jetstream includes a registration form that allows users to create new accounts.
- The registration process includes fields for collecting user information such as name, email, and password.
- Jetstream uses Laravel's built-in registration functionality, which includes features like email verification.
2. Login:
- Jetstream provides a login form that allows users to authenticate with the application.
- The login process supports various authentication methods, including email and password, social login (e.g., Google, GitHub), and two-factor authentication.
- Jetstream uses Laravel's built-in authentication system, which handles session management and password hashing.
3. Password Management:
- Jetstream includes features for managing user passwords, such as updating the password and resetting a forgotten password.
- The password update functionality allows users to change their current password.
- The password reset functionality allows users to reset their password by providing their email address and verifying their identity.
4. Two-Factor Authentication:
- Jetstream supports two-factor authentication (2FA), which adds an extra layer of security to user accounts.
- Users can enable 2FA and manage their 2FA settings, including generating backup codes and viewing their 2FA status.
- Jetstream uses Laravel Fortify's 2FA implementation, which supports various 2FA providers, such as Google Authenticator and Authy.
5. Browser Sessions:
- Jetstream provides a way for users to manage their active browser sessions, allowing them to log out of other devices or browsers.
- Users can view their active sessions, log out of specific sessions, and revoke all other active sessions.
- This feature helps users maintain control over their account security, especially in cases where a device or browser may have been compromised.
6. API Authentication:
- Jetstream includes support for API authentication using Laravel Sanctum, which provides a simple, token-based authentication system for your API.
- Users can generate API tokens that can be used to authenticate API requests, allowing for secure access to your application's API.
By leveraging Laravel's built-in authentication features and extending them with additional functionality, Jetstream provides a robust and secure authentication system for your Laravel applications. This allows you to focus on building your application's core features while having a solid foundation for user management and security.
