You can use many PHP User Authentication libraries in one login system. To ensure the libraries work well, we must carefully plan, integrate, and test them. This avoids conflicts and security problems. When using many authentication libraries together, remember these important things. You should also follow some steps:

Laravel is a powerful PHP framework. It provides built-in authentication functionality, but there are also third-party libraries. It can enhance or extend this functionality. Using a specific library for Laravel applications with user authentication has benefits.
