Disclaimer ========== [](#disclaimer) > Any kind of Face Recognition, using the camera of the device as a form of Authentication is flawed. You only need to hold a good photo in front of the camera to by pass it. Using this for authentication is like shooting in your own foot and contributing for a more insecure web. Please **do not** use face recognition as an alternative for password authentication in a production system! Installation ------------ [](#installation) You can install the package via Composer: ``` $ composer require mpociot/laravel-face-auth ``` Add the service provider to your `config/app.php`: ``` Mpociot\FaceAuth\FaceAuthServiceProvider::class, ``` In your `config/auth.php`, change the auth driver to `faceauth`: ``` 'providers' => [ 'users' => [ 'driver' => 'faceauth', 'model' => App\User::class, ], ] ``` Publish the configuration: ``` $ php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Mpociot\FaceAuth\FaceAuthServiceProvider" ``` Edit the newly published `config/faceauth.php` file and enter your [Face API key](https://www.microsoft.com/cognitive-services/en-us/face-api). Usage and authorization ----------------------- [](#usage-and-authorization) The face authentication works, by using a reference image of your user and matching it against a uploaded image upon login. So this pretty much is the same flow as comparing two password hashes. When you register your users, you need to make sure that you store a photo of the users face - this is basically his password. In order for this package, to find the user photo, your `User` model needs to implement the `FaceAuthenticatable` interface. This interface only has one single public method `getFaceAuthPhoto()`. This method needs to return the content of the user photo. Example: ``` class User extends Authenticatable implements FaceAuthenticatable { public function getFaceAuthPhoto() { return File::get(storage_path('facces') . $this->id . '.png'); } } ``` Your login form now needs a `photo` field (the name can be configured) - this field should contain a base64 representation of the image, the user uses to log in. > If you want a simple way to capture the user image from the webcam, take a look at the [vue-webcam](https://github.com/smronju/vue-webcam) Vue.js component.
