Laravel Fortify is a frontend-agnostic authentication backend for Laravel that registers the routes and controllers needed for login, registration, password reset, email verification, two-factor authentication, and passkeys. It provides no UI of its own, so it is meant to be paired with a custom frontend that calls its endpoints.

Use cases

• add authentication to a Laravel app without a prebuilt UI
• implement headless login and registration endpoints for a SPA or mobile app
• enable two-factor authentication in Laravel
• add passkey (WebAuthn) authentication to Laravel
• set up password reset and email verification flows
• build a custom auth UI on top of Laravel's auth backend

When to choose

• you want full control over the authentication UI while reusing Laravel's auth logic
• you are building an API or SPA backend that needs auth endpoints
• you need two-factor authentication or passkeys in a Laravel app

When to avoid

• you want a complete prebuilt auth UI with views (use Laravel Breeze or Jetstream instead)
• you are not using the Laravel framework
• you only need simple manual auth and prefer wiring Laravel's core auth services yourself
