How to Increase Sanctum token length in Laravel 9?
this is my login function which generate the token

<?php
 if(Auth::attempt(['email' => request('email') , 'password' => request('password')])){
 $token = Auth::user()->createToken('authentication')->plainTextToken;
 $lastLogin = User::find(Auth::user()->id);
 $lastLogin->last_login = Carbon::now()->format('Y-m-d\TH:i:s.vP');
 $lastLogin->save();
 return response()->json([ "user" => Auth::user(), "token" => $token ], 200);
 } else {
 return response()->json(['Error, Wrong email or password'], 400); 
 }
 ?>

and the token which generated by this function is too small

Best Answer

Yes i believe you can do this, using this function in your User module

<?php
 public function createToken(string $name, array $abilities = ['*']){
 $token = $this->tokens()->create([
 'name' => $name,
 'token' => hash('sha256', $plainTextToken = Str::random(200)),
 'abilities' => $abilities,
 ]);

 return new NewAccessToken($token, $token->getKey().'|'.$plainTextToken);
 }

and don't forget to use

use Illuminate\Support\Str;
use Laravel\Sanctum\NewAccessToken;

at the top of your Module
