Laravel Sanctum vs Passport & when to use Laravel Sanctum - Laravel SPA Authentication

With Laravel Sanctum being the "newer" package for Laravel, it can get confusing when you should use Sanctum for authentication over something like JWT or Laravel Passport when authenticating SPA, mobile app, or an API. In this video, I hope to help you decide which authentication package to choose as well as help you decide between Laravel Sanctum's token & session based authentications.

If you need oAuth then just use passport.

[@mel-182]

what would you recommend for SSO?

[@ProgramWithGio]

Haven't done much SSO so I'm not sure to be honest

[@softwareEngineerKunwar]

I am not still clear about the passport, You only talked about sanctum and at last you said yes for passport. please make more clear. Clearly explain both Sanctum and passport and then recommendation with point

[@ProgramWithGio]

Not sure I understand. In the beginning I talk about passport and explain what it is so I'm not sure what exactly is not clear. This lesson isn't about passport or sanctum it's a 3 min video quickly explaining the difference.

[@ProgramWithGio]

00:44 this is where I explain what passport is so I don't only talk about passport at the end of the video. Perhaps you skipped/missed this part?

[@softwareEngineerKunwar]

Oh yes! Thanks for getting back.
In your point of view - How passport is better than sanctum?

[@ProgramWithGio]

@@softwareEngineerKunwar I don't think passport is better than Sanctum. They solve different problems. Passport is great when you need oAuth features and API token based auth. Sanctum is great when you want to authenticate first party SPA, mobile app or APIs. Either can be used for API but I prefer Sanctum and only go for Passport if I need oAuth

[@softwareEngineerKunwar]

Thanks a lot. I am clear now.
