Passwordless Login for Laravel
==============================

[](#passwordless-login-for-laravel)

This module implements a Medium/Slack-inspired password-less login for Laravel sites. It is part of the [personal knowledge management system Knowfox](https://knowfox.com).

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

- Require the module into your project by ```
    composer require knowfox/passwordless

    ```
- Install the service provider by adding the line ```
    Knowfox\Passwordless\ServiceProvider::class,

    ```

    ... in array `providers` in your `config/app.php`.
- Remove the line ```
    Auth::routes();

    ```

    ... from your `routes/web.php`
- Define a variable `MAIL_DOMAIN` in your `.env`.
- Be sure to set your `APP_NAME` to the name of your app.
- Fill in a working mail configuration, e.g. [through mailtrap.io](https://github.com/oschettler/knowfox/wiki/How-to-install-Knowfox-at-Uberspace)
