I use laravel passport and I found this code for registering a user with laravel passport:

$user= User::create([
    'name' =>$request->name,
    'email'=>$request->email,
    'password'=>bcrypt($request->password)
]);

$access_token_example = $user->createToken('PassportExample@Section.io')->accessToken;

in laravel doc mention that we should pass the token name to createToken function but my question is:

I don't understand what is the usage of the token name?

we just need to produce a random token why should we give a name to it?

and another question is : what is the standard for the token name? should it be same text for all the users? can I use rand() function inside?

and the third question is: where we store the tokens? database? session?

may be you want to get access token instead of token name and other info.

use Laravel\Passport\HasApiTokens in user model instead of use Laravel\Sanctum\HasApiTokens
