Yes it works , but how can i keep it using my own private key @shaden

Crypt uses the APP_KEY in env file,

you can override Crypt Class with your alternative key. or what I do is have the same APP_KEY o both ends, sender and consumer

Hi did you manage to get it to work?

you can change the Key in the config file

   'key' => env('APP_KEY'),

to what ever you want.. but not sure about other things using the same key.

can you try

$token =   Crypt::encryptString($user->createToken('rmisbackend')->plainTextToken);

I think it does the same as base_64 but easier to encrypt and decrypt.
