advice on how to migrate away from this to Laravel Sanctum

[sts-ryan-holton]

Hi 👋

I'm currently using the official jwt-auth library in a production environment on a medium sized system, and like many, feel that the project isn't being maintained.

Recently, Laravel 9 was released, along with PHP 8 less than 2 years ago.

Yesterday I tried changing my local development environment to PHP 8 and experienced the problem whereby this project only relies on PHP 7 and doesn't support PHP 8, furthermore I'm realising that long term I'm likely going to have to switch to something like Laravel Sanctum as my backend is in Laravel, and Laravel 9 includes Sanctum by default.

My issue though is how do I migrate my password hashes over to Sanctum from the project without having to ask customers to change their password?

I don't think that you need to migrate your password hashes. Because jwt-auth and Sanctum both rely on the Auth-facade and use Auth::attempt($credentials) to authenticate a user.

In the documentation of sanctum is an example how to implement a login method: https://laravel.com/docs/9.x/authentication#authenticating-users
