Auth session expires quickly

Whats your environment? Homestead? Valet? custom?

Can a user actually log in? or does it immediately redirect when you click login

Check the session lifetime in config/session.php

check that a session file is being created in the storage/framework/sessions folder

Thanks for helping everyone.

It was a missing break statement in my Exceptions/Handler.php file.

The code that was causing the issue:

public function render($request, Exception $e)
    {
        //return parent::render($request, $e);
        //return view('errors.custom');
        
        if ( ! config('app.debug') && ! $this->isHttpException($e)) {
            return response()->view('errors.custom');
        }
        
        
        if ($this->isHttpException($e)) {
            
            $statusCode = $e->getStatusCode();

            switch ($statusCode) {

                case '404':
                    return response()->view('errors.404');
                    break; // This was missing
            }
        }
        return parent::render($request, $e);
    }

Fixed it by adding the break statement.

Thanks all
