Laravel documentation states, When using a web browser, a user will provide their username and password via a login form. If these credentials are correct, the application will store information about the authenticated user in the user's session.
I logged in and checked the session file in storage/framework/sessions and this is what is there a:4:{s:6:"_token";s:40:"oapalrThHI5GgJqLsXiwHiolPuktxS4enIzXGaCT";s:6:"_flash";a:2:{s:3:"old";a:0:{}s:3:"new";a:0:{}}s:9:"_previous";a:1:{s:3:"url";s:43:"http://127.0.0.1:8000/dashboard/blog/create";}s:50:"login_web_59ba36addc2b2f9401580f014c7f58ea4e30989d";i:2;}
I'm curious, about what user info exactly gets stored there as I don't see anything familiar. Or is the info encrypted? Shining some light on this is highly appreciated in advance.
