Laravel makes this process simple with Laravel Breeze, a minimal authentication starter kit. Breeze gives you a ready-to-use authentication flow, built with Blade and Tailwind CSS, and can be extended with Vue, React, or Inertia.
👉 In this tutorial, we’ll start from scratch:
-
Step 1: Install a fresh Laravel project
-
Step 2: Install Breeze
- Step 3: Install Frontend Dependencies
-
Step 4: Run migrations
-
Test authentication pages
By the end, you’ll have a working Laravel authentication system.
Step1 : Install a New Laravel Project
First, make sure you have these installed:
-
PHP 8.2 or higher
-
Composer
-
MySQL (or another database like SQLite/Postgres)
Run this command to create a new Laravel project:
composer create-project laravel/laravel breezeauth
cd breezeauth
Now serve the app:
php artisan serveVisit:
👉 http://127.0.0.1:8000
You should see the Laravel welcome page.
Step 2: Install Laravel Breeze
Next, install Breeze with Composer:
Open your .env file and configure database credentials:
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=breezeauth
DB_USERNAME=root
DB_PASSWORD=
Now run migrations:
This creates users, password_resets, and failed_jobs tables.
Step 5: Test Laravel Breeze Authentication
Serve the app again:
php artisan migrate
php artisan serve
Now visit in your browser:
-
/register→ Register a new user -
/login→ Login with your account -
/forgot-password→ Reset password -
/verify-email→ Email verification page
🎉 Congratulations! You now have a fully working Laravel authentication system.
What’s Next?
Now that Breeze is installed and running, here’s what you can do next:
-
Explore the file structure (routes, controllers, views)
-
Customize the registration form (add fields like username/phone)
-
Add role-based authentication (admin vs user)
