## What it is
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
