Environment File
Here are the .env file variables available:
LARAVEL_2STEP_ENABLED=true LARAVEL_2STEP_DATABASE_TABLE=laravel2step LARAVEL_2STEP_USER_MODEL=App\Models\User LARAVEL_2STEP_EMAIL_FROM_NAME="Laravel 2 Step Verification" LARAVEL_2STEP_EXCEEDED_COUNT=3 LARAVEL_2STEP_EXCEEDED_COUNTDOWN_MINUTES=1440 LARAVEL_2STEP_VERIFIED_LIFETIME_MINUTES=360 LARAVEL_2STEP_RESET_BUFFER_IN_SECONDS=360 LARAVEL_2STEP_CSS_FILE="css/laravel2step/app.css" LARAVEL_2STEP_APP_CSS_ENABLED=false LARAVEL_2STEP_APP_CSS="css/app.css" LARAVEL_2STEP_BOOTSTRAP_CSS_CDN_ENABLED=true LARAVEL_2STEP_BOOTSTRAP_CSS_CDN="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/twitter-bootstrap/3.4.1/css/bootstrap.min.css" # Optional.

Defaults to your application's MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS. # LARAVEL_2STEP_EMAIL_FROM="verification@example.com" # Optional. Send the verification email on a named queue. # LARAVEL_2STEP_EMAIL_QUEUE=notifications
Usage
Laravel 2-Step Verification is enabled via middleware. You can enable 2-Step Verification in your routes and controllers via the following middleware:
twostep
Example to start recording page views using middlware in web.php:
Route::group(['middleware' => ['twostep']], function () { Route::get('/home', 'HomeController@index')->name('home'); });
Two step verification is supported on your application's default guard, which is Laravel's session based web guard unless you changed it. The twostep middleware needs a session, since it stores where the user was headed, so it belongs on routes in the web group.
If you protect web group routes with another guard, for example ['auth:sanctum', 'twostep'], an unverified user is still blocked, because Laravel's middleware priority runs auth ahead of this package's middleware. That user cannot complete verification though: /verification/needed authenticates on the default guard, so they are sent to your login route instead of the verification form.
Routes
/verification/needed/verification/verify/verification/resend
Testing
The package ships with a Pest suite that runs against an in memory SQLite database, so it never touches a real database.
composer install
composer test
Running the suite needs PHP 8.2 or higher, because Pest and Pint do not run on anything older. That is a requirement for working on the package, not for using it: the package itself still installs on PHP 7.3 and up.
Code style is checked with Laravel Pint:
composer lint
GitHub Actions runs on every pull request, on pushes to master, and again every Monday so a new Laravel release cannot break the package quietly:
| Job | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Tests | Laravel 12 on PHP 8.2 to 8.5, Laravel 13 on PHP 8.3 to 8.5 |
| Lowest dependencies | The oldest dependency versions that resolve against Laravel 12 |
| Code style | composer validate --strict and pint --test |
| Security audit | composer audit against known advisories |
Laravel 11 and below are still supported by the composer constraints, but they cannot be installed on a clean runner anymore, because composer blocks the framework releases that carry published security advisories.
