This might be helpful if you're using a different service for storing users: https://laravel.com/docs/7.x/authentication#adding-custom-user-providers - I haven't done it myself though but maybe someone else has implemented this?

Auth::login a User instance
When using Auth::login($user) is it possible to login (and so a session is created) a $user instance created on the fly. For example:
$user = new User();
$user->id = 15;
$user->name = "User Name";
$user->email = "test";
$user->password = "test";
Auth::login($user);
The reason for this is that I am storing my users in another Database 'app' in another Laravel project. Thus when a user logs in from this dashboard, I'd like the credentials to be verified in project 'app' through an API call and then return back information such as user_id and create a session in this Laravel project.

Hi @rkdev , I found out that a session is not persisted if the user does not exist in the DB. If I create a user with that id in the DB then it works. So basically I want to create a custom Auth Guard or disable the DB Provider for the Laravel Auth somehow...

If someone implemented this (custom user provider or disabling it for Auth) and can guide me - I'd really appreciate it.
Please or to participate in this conversation.
