Q: Laravel 5.1 Authentication

Question

What is the best way to make an Authentication in Laravel 5? Would it be best to use the built-in Authentication? Should i use a package like Sentinel ? I'm looking for the most secure way to do a Authentication. What can you recommend and why?

Answer 1

Laravel's built-in Auth is great and it can deal with anything, not matter how complex. Though Sentinel can help you deal with complex stuff more easily.

So if you just want to make a basic authentication, then you'll be just fine without Sentinel. Otherwise it'll be easier if you use it.
