FAQs

What is the main difference between Laravel Fortify, Breeze, and Jetstream?
Laravel Fortify is a headless authentication backend, providing only the routes and controller logic for authentication features without any frontend scaffolding. Laravel Breeze uses Fortify under the hood and adds a minimal Blade or Vue/React (via Inertia) frontend. Laravel Jetstream also uses Fortify, providing a more robust, opinionated starter kit with advanced features like team management and two-factor authentication, with Blade or Inertia/Livewire frontends.
Can I use Laravel Fortify without Laravel Sanctum for API authentication?
Yes, you can use Laravel Fortify without Sanctum. If you're building a traditional web application, Fortify can handle session-based authentication using standard browser cookies. For API authentication in SPAs or mobile apps, while Sanctum is highly recommended for its token-based authentication (SPA authentication with CSRF protection and API token issuance), you could theoretically implement your own token-based system, but it's generally not advised due to security complexities.
