Paasword PHP Laravel Middleware

Paasword is an online authentication, authorization and user management service. This middleware library by Paasword for Laravel PHP Web Framework enables website owners with a Laravel backend to restrict their endpoints to authenticated users only and retrieve user data.

Usage

1. Create a free account at Paasword website.
2. Recieve a login, sign-up, account and forgot-password pages for your website based on the user attributes you set up.
3. Set the callback pages on your website where users will be redirected after they sign-up and log in.
4. Once a user is redirected to your website with a token, send this token to your backend in the "x-auth-token" header.
