    Now, we will update the login.blade.php file. In this file, we will add a magic link. So, add the following code to that file.

    resources/views/auth/login.blade.php

        </div>
    </div>

    Now, we will update LoginController.php. So, add the following code to that file.

    app/Http/Controllers/Auth/LoginController.php

<?php

    | redirecting them to your home screen. The controller uses a trait

    |
    */
  
    use AuthenticatesUsers;
  
    /**
     * Where to redirect users after login.
     *
     * @var string
     */
    protected $redirectTo = RouteServiceProvider::HOME;
  
    /**
     * Create a new controller instance.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->middleware('guest')->except('logout');
    }
  
    /**
     * Write code on Method
     *
     * @return response()
     */
    public function login(Request $request)
    {
  
        if($request->input('submit') == 'magic-link'){
            $user = $this->loginViaMagicLink($request);
  
            if(!$user){
                return redirect()->route('login')
                ->withErrors(['email' => 'User with this email does not exist.'])
                ->withInput();
            }
 
            return redirect()->route('login')
                    ->withMessage('Magic Link Sent to the Registered Email Address');
        } 
  
        $this->validateLogin($request);
 
        if (method_exists($this, 'hasTooManyLoginAttempts') &&
            $this->hasTooManyLoginAttempts($request)) {
            $this->fireLockoutEvent($request);
 
            return $this->sendLockoutResponse($request);
        }
  
        if ($this->attemptLogin($request)) {
            if ($request->hasSession()) {
                $request->session()->put('auth.password_confirmed_at', time());
            }
            return $this->sendLoginResponse($request);
        }
  
        $this->incrementLoginAttempts($request);

            $user->notify(new SendMagicLinkNotification());
        }
  
        return $user;
    }
}

    In this step, we will create a SendMagicLinkNotification.php notification for sending emails with a magic link.

php artisan make:notification SendMagicLinkNotification

    app/Notifications/SendMagicLinkNotification.php

<?php
  
namespace App\Notifications;
  
use Illuminate\Bus\Queueable;

class SendMagicLinkNotification extends Notification
{
    use Queueable;
  
    /**
     * Create a new notification instance.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function __construct()
    {
          
    }
  
    /**
     * Get the notification's delivery channels.
     *
     * @param  mixed  $notifiable
     * @return array
     */
    public function via($notifiable)
    {
        return ['mail'];
    }
  
    /**
     * Get the mail representation of the notification.
     *
     * @param  mixed  $notifiable
     * @return \Illuminate\Notifications\Messages\MailMessage
     */
    public function toMail($notifiable)
    {
  
        $generator = new LoginUrl($notifiable);
        $generator->setRedirectUrl('/home');
        $url = $generator->generate();
  
        return (new MailMessage)
                    ->subject('Your Password Less Link!')
                    ->line('Click this link to log in!')
                    ->action('Login', $url)
                    ->line('Thank you for using our application!');
    }
  
    /**
     * Get the array representation of the notification.
     *
     * @param  mixed  $notifiable
     * @return array
     */
    public function toArray($notifiable)
    {
        return [
              
        ];
    }
}

    Now, we will run login with the magic link in laravel 9 using the following command.

php artisan serve
