Faking logins with Laravel Auth [closed]

Question

On our service there's admins and other users. I'm using the basic Laravel Auth package for handling registrations, logins etc.

What would be the best way to implement a feature, where an admin user could "fake login" as a regular user, without knowing the actual user's password?

Answer 1

This should work:

Auth::loginUsingId($userId, true);

Answer 2

There is a function in laravel Auth::loginUsingId():

if(Auth::loginUsingId($userId))
{
    return redirect('/dashboard');
}

by which user can login by using its id in user table only. In this there is no need to pass email, password etc
