Problem
You want to know how the user was authenticated.
You know there's only two possibilities. Either they were already logged into the existing session or they were automatically logged in with the "remember me" cookie.
Solution
Use the Auth::viaRemember() method.
if (Auth::viaRemember())
{
echo "Aha, you logged in with the remember me cookie.";
}
else
{
echo "You were already logged in for this request.";
}
Discussion
Nothing to discuss.
