How to Set Limit Login Attempts in Laravel?

Hello Guys,

Today, I will let you know example of how to set limit login attempts in laravel. It's a simple example of block user after 3 attempts in laravel. let’s discuss about laravel too many attempts login. This article will give you a simple example of laravel throttle lockout time increase.

Here, i will give you following two ways to increase throttle limit in laravel login. so, let's see both simple solution.

Solution 1:

you need to overwrite default values by adding $maxAttempts and $decayMinutes. so you can see the LoginController.php code:

app/Http/Controllers/Auth/LoginController.php

<?php
  
namespace App\Http\Controllers\Auth;
  
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\AuthenticatesUsers;
  
class LoginController extends Controller
{
    protected $maxAttempts = 3; /* Default is 5 */
    protected $decayMinutes = 2; /* Default is 1 */
  
    /*
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | Login Controller
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    |
    | This controller handles authenticating users for the application and
    | redirecting them to your home screen. The controller uses a trait
    | to conveniently provide its functionality to your applications.
    |
    */
  
    use AuthenticatesUsers;
  
    /**
     * Where to redirect users after login.
     *
     * @var string
     */
    protected $redirectTo = '/home';
  
    /**
     * Create a new controller instance.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->middleware('guest', ['except' => 'logout']);
    }
}

Solution 2:

we can do it on hasTooManyLoginAttempts() method update. so you can see the LoginController.php code:

app/Http/Controllers/Auth/LoginController.php

<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers\Auth;
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\AuthenticatesUsers;
class LoginController extends Controller
{
    /*
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    | Login Controller
    |--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    |
    | This controller handles authenticating users for the application and
    | redirecting them to your home screen. The controller uses a trait
    | to conveniently provide its functionality to your applications.
    |
    */
    use AuthenticatesUsers;
    /**
     * Where to redirect users after login.
     *
     * @var string
     */
    protected $redirectTo = '/home';
    /**
     * Create a new controller instance.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->middleware('guest', ['except' => 'logout']);
    }
    /**
     * Determine if the user has too many failed login attempts.
     *
     * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
     * @return bool
     */
    protected function hasTooManyLoginAttempts(Request $request)
    {
        return $this->limiter()->tooManyAttempts(
            $this->throttleKey($request), 6, 30
        );
    }
}

I hope it can help you...
