Laravel Magic Login: Passwordless Auth Made Dead Simple
If you’ve ever built a login flow and thought, “Man… passwords are a headache,” you’re not alone. Laravel Magic Login jumps straight into that pain point and removes passwords entirely. Instead, it gives you secure, time-limited “magic links” — the same UX popular apps use for frictionless authentication.
This package slots nicely into any Laravel app without you needing to build token logic, expiration checks, notifications, or route signing from scratch. It’s all handled for you in a clean, configurable way.
What It Does
Laravel Magic Login lets you generate a signed, temporary login URL for any Authenticatable model. Send it to the user, and with one click, they're authenticated — no passwords, no reset flow, no support emails asking why “the password reset email never arrived.”
Once you install the package and register the route, creating a link is literally one line:
MagicLink::make(authenticatable: $user);
Want the link emailed automatically? Just call:
MagicLink::send(authenticatable: $user);
That’s it. The user gets a secure email with a login button. They click → they’re in.
Why It’s Actually Useful
Magic Login doesn’t just generate a link — it covers the real-world details developers always forget until the last minute:
- Expiration times (default: 2 hours, fully customizable)
- Single-use or multi-use links
- Rate limiting via login count
- Configurable notification classes
- Configurable route, middleware, and controller
- Custom redirect targets after login
- Support for any authentication guard
And because everything is stored in its own model, you can even audit and revoke links as needed.
Perfect For
- SaaS onboarding without forcing signups to choose a password
- Internal tools where employees authenticate via work email
- Mobile-first projects where password typing is painful
- Apps where you want “slap a link in the inbox → instant access” onboarding
In short: if you want passwordless auth without building it yourself, Laravel Magic Login is the quickest and cleanest solution in the ecosystem.
