A Laravel Package to Protect Routes With a PIN Code

Have you ever needed to protect certain routes or pages of your Laravel app with a secure PIN code? Laravel's Require Pin package can help you with that.

This package provides a middleware that intercepts the routes or a group of routes requiring a PIN. When a user tries to access a protected route, they will be prompted to enter their PIN code. Once the user enters a valid PIN, they will be redirected and allowed access to the protected route.

Route::get('/see-my-paycheck', MyController::class)
    ->middleware('require.pin');

One of the great features of this package is that it also provides an API route that you can use to validate and manage a user's PIN. This makes it easy to integrate the Require Pin package with other parts of your Laravel app.

When a user tries to visit /see-my-paycheck in the above example, this package will prompt the user to enter their PIN code before taking them to the page. This package also provides an API route you can use to validate and manage a user's PIN.

The basic idea of how this package works within your Laravel app is as follows:

• Add the require.pin middleware to routes or a group of routes requiring a pin.
• The middleware will intercept those routes.
• The package generates a temporary URL to authenticate with their PIN.
• Once the user enters their valid PIN, it will redirect and allow them access to the PIN-protected route.
