Laravel Using Password Grant Tokens

The OAuth2 password grant allows your other first-party clients, such as a mobile application, to obtain an access token using an e-mail address / username and password.

First you need to generate a Password Grant Client by:

php artisan passport:client --password
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

This will give you a client_id and a client_secret

So next you can implement your login in your Mobile app as follow:

POST
http://your-app.com/oauth/token

Body:
{
  'grant_type' => 'password',
  'client_id' => 'client-id',
  'client_secret' => 'client-secret',
  'username' => 'taylor@laravel.com',
  'password' => 'my-password',
  'scope' => '',
}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

With the result of:

{
  "token_type": "Bearer",
  "expires_in": 300,
  "access_token": "eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGciOiJSUzI1NiIsImp0aSI6IjAyMGM1YTQ2MzM5ZTAxNjBjODViOWUyMGE0YTAxYzhmOWYzOTZkYjlhMmM1OWZiNjk0NDVjZTZlYTIyMmUyZmEyNDZmYzQ0MTc4M2NjNjIyIn0.eyJhdWQiOiI1MSIsImp0aSI6IjAyMGM1YTQ2MzM5ZTAxNjBjODViOWUyMGE0YTAxYzhmOWYzOTZkYjlhMmM1OWZiNjk0NDVjZTZlYTIyMmUyZmEyNDZmYzQ0MTc4M2NjNjIyIiwiaWF0IjoxNTczMjIxMTk0LCJuYmYiOjE1NzMyMjExOTQsImV4cCI6MTU3MzIyMTQ5NCwic3ViIjoiNWZhNzNkNjAtYzliNC0xMWU5LThiMDEtNjFmNDI4YjYyNTdiIiwic2NvcGVzIjpbXX0.EmmKwdr_tLUmN08MxnleCqIU0zDk8-pyecOaz-tQ2OBZa-UBsFe2SoaD0jqq_0t1BZHBiayO5qHFY6M459mXTPRNJM8Bx7MC1X_4GPHrozKMuymZ3Ham3J00UtsGHcF2gG39YcUnmhbDhiFefO8VGU-2e_2q2qWAFvO_lUB4CrcrVQ3o8-4o3mwXpmWbcoDbqiQwga_0-SMo8gYIFlh4OaO0Z_bCWsJaspUdRra672BV49une5uPlANLIinCthFHgcT_9t48z_wOzEHbVhuogMr5ObkJAy0rXTQLyvprale5EaNTPR0s9Fp1wvMtd08m7Pbdz2XLCShuIrE7cY8U8NZydxvX3aFqUOcqkmlvEGRkr3B6utjNQW19I7bKw9aIBBczoCCBmIqkqBuQFQziV3dQ7qQYJyKqr0n_mSyVzCllJ4nhWcV4hwny2KVQoszxjVMoVEzWEXsJSmxfWE4NHMYb0wmid6K_COCGzHRhfqtg_llySP_w2N0us2Ri92LyVovIJI0w2_ze0MBmyvS37OYIOLV3bCZcsVhnf9QCxAE6NAXXwgzYEj7Y0Q-7GkbOCDWrVghih3-engZj36dTBo_i4YJc5iygRlzLCW8AFtZig6mW6Veb9ITsSu_yTefCbZVPG4G0MjBhk03kSnLJGeyWeEAIBapdeEI7Vf8VsXo",

}
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

If you want to refresh an expired token you will do a request to /oauth/token with the POST method

And with the body:

{
  'grant_type' => 'refresh_token',
  'refresh_token' => 'the-refresh-token',
  'client_id' => 'client-id',
  'client_secret' => 'client-secret',
  'scope' => '',
} 
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

Put the previous refresh_token, client_id, client_secret and you will get another response containing other tokens
