@Sinnbeck will it always be unique and also how can i use it in a login form to enter the quiz page. My idea is the student enters the key then the user and submit then it checks whether it is in the database then the quiz page opens. Am i right?

@TimiAde I use it for dropoffs. People get an email with that uuid in the url. /pickup/{uuid}
And yes it's unique

Would a signed url work? You can set an expiry. https://laravel.com/docs/9.x/urls#:~:text=Laravel%20allows%20you%20to%20easily,modified%20since%20it%20was%20created.
