What are the differences between these 2? And which one is better for a simple VueJS app? I've read their documents a few times but still confused. Thank you very much.

If your application absolutely needs to support OAuth2, then you should use Laravel Passport. However, if you are attempting to authenticate a single-page application, mobile application, or issue API tokens, you should use Laravel Sanctum.
It depends on your requirements, Passport provides a full OAuth2 server implementation. If your project need to use OAuth implementation then use Passport. otherwise, the sanctum is a good choice.
Laravel JWT authentication vs.Sanctum offers both session-based and token-based authentication and is good for single-page application (SPA) authentications. Passport uses JWT authentication as standard but also implements full OAuth 2.0 authorization.
The "tymondesigns/jwt-auth" is a PHP Laravel implementation of the JWT protocol. On the other hand, Passport also uses JWT by default plus a huge extra, a complete Oauth2 implementation. Regarding the functionality, as I said they both use JWT thus you can use whichever you like to authentication via tokens.
Passport provides a full OAuth2 server implementation for your Laravel application in a matter of minutes. It is therefore necessary to have a brief knowledge of OAuth2.
Sanctum it is a simple package to issue API tokens to your users without the complication of OAuth. Sanctum uses Laravel's built-in cookie based session authentication services.
In a small application use Sanctum. it's simple and easy.
