It provides a seamless way to authenticate as a super-admin using secure headers. Key Features ------------ [](#key-features) - **Header-Based Access:** Authenticate instantly using a custom header. - **Global Gate Bypass:** Automatically bypasses all `Gate` and `Policy` checks for the master session. - **Zero Configuration:** Works out of the box with Laravel's auto-discovery. - **Stealth Mode:** Minimal footprint in your application's route list or logs. Installation ------------ [](#installation) You can install the package via composer: ``` composer require devtoygun/laravel-masterkey ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) Add a new key named `MASTER_KEY` to your project's .ENV file. The password you set for this key is your MASTER password. After your project is completed, open any header editor tool and run it with these values: ``` Name: dev-master Value: Your MASTER_KEY password in your ENV file. ``` After submitting the header, auth controls on the project will be bypassed and you will be considered logged in as admin. !!!Attention!!! --------------- [](#attention) By using this plugin you are assumed to be aware of: - This is not a hacking tool or malicious software. - This add-on is intended to log in with "developer" authority on the project during long-term technical support after project delivery. - The user is responsible for using this plug-in for purposes other than its intended purpose; the plug-in developer cannot be held responsible for any data loss, legal liability or security vulnerabilities that may occur. - Anyone using this plug-in must know and accept that this plug-in is publicly available and open source under the MIT license and that anyone can use it and access it by reverse engineering. - Since this plugin is not malicious software or a hacking tool, there is no encryption or code obfuscation. ### Health Score 33 — LowBetter than 72% of packages Maintenance82 Actively maintained with recent releases Popularity1 Limited adoption so far Community6 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity39 Early-stage or recently created project Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
