I am building a desktop application that will have a settings screen in web. If the user click on the settings button it shall open laravel web application and shall authenticate automatically. So I need a deeplink to login directly into the application and redirect user to settings page.

Is there any way to solve this scenario with laravel Auth or any further suggestions?

I guess that for deep link you mean "very long and difficult to guess url".

I suggest you to manage the access using an authentication token (is generally used for API, but also "remember me" functionality use a token stored in cookie) and make it possible to configure the token in the desktop application.

this allow you to:

  • disable a token at any time
  • create different tokens for different users
  • much better security compared to hidden url
