Reauthenticate users by letting them re-enter their passwords for specific parts of your app (for Laravel 5).

```
Route::group(['middleware' => ['auth','reauthenticate']], function () {

    Route::get('user/payment', function () {
        // Needs to re-enter password to see this
    });

});
```

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

[](#installation)

In order to add reauthenticate to your project, just add

```
"mpociot/reauthenticate": "~1.0"

```

to your composer.json. Then run `composer install` or `composer update`.

Or run `composer require mpociot/reauthenticate ` if you prefer that.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Add the middleware to your Kernel

[](#add-the-middleware-to-your-kernel)

In your `app\Http\Kernel.php` file, add the reauthenticate middleware to the `$routeMiddleware` array.

```
protected $routeMiddleware = [
    // ...
    'reauthenticate'         => \Mpociot\Reauthenticate\Middleware\Reauthenticate::class,
    // ...
];
```

### Add the routes & views

[](#add-the-routes--views)

By default, reauthanticate is looking for a route `auth/reauthenticate` and a view `auth.reauthenticate` that will hold a password field.

An example view can be copied from [here](https://github.com/mpociot/reauthenticate/blob/master/views/reauthenticate.blade.php). Please note that this file needs to be manually copied, because I didn't want to bloat this package with a service provider.

The HTTP controller methods can be used from the `Reauthenticates` trait, so your AuthController looks like this:

```
