php-laravelHow do I create a secure login system using PHP and Laravel?

A secure login system using PHP and Laravel can be created by following these steps:

1. Create a User model with name, email and password fields.

2. Generate a password_hash for the user's password using the bcrypt algorithm.

$password_hash = \Illuminate\Support\Facades\Hash::make($password);

3. Create a login route which takes the email and password as input.

4. Check the email against the database and fetch the corresponding password_hash.

5. Use the bcrypt algorithm to verify the password against the password_hash.

if (\Illuminate\Support\Facades\Hash::check($password, $password_hash)) {
    // password is valid
}

6. If the password is valid, log the user in and redirect them to the homepage.

7. Implement other security measures such as rate limiting, two-factor authentication, etc.

For more information, see the Laravel Authentication Documentation.
