Manual login user by Email Id in Laravel.

This blog is to help you manually login by using a URL with get parameters.

As this practice is not secured and can be taken advantage by hackers so use it on your own risk.

To make it a bit difficult for them we can ask for primary key and other parameters to ensure some sort of validation.

Auth::login($user)  is used to manually login the user. Where $user is the eloquent collection response of user table

public function userManualLogin(Request $request)
{
   $user = User::where('email', $request->email)->first();

	//any form of validation in if clause

	if ($user->id == $request->id) {
		Auth::login($user);
		return redirect('/user/dashboard');
	}

	if ($this->hasTooManyLoginAttempts($request)) {
	$this->fireLockoutEvent($request);

	return $this->sendLockoutResponse($request);
	}

	$this->incrementLoginAttempts($request);

	return $this->sendFailedLoginResponse($request);
}
