@user1980 if you are storing session data in database, then you could just truncate session data and that will invalidate user sessions (and log them out on their next page request).

If you regenerate key in .env then it should did the trick:
php artisan key:generate
This will also logout user with remember me.
Deleting only database table if you are using database sessions or deleting sessions files, will not logout users that login with remember me.
If there are other implications to consider using this approuch depend on your project, since this will break all encryption, so pay attention to this.

To all,
I first tried to delete the sessions in the storage folder but this was not enough, this only stores the active sessions. What I had to do is also delete all the "remember_token" tokens in the user table.
And then everyone got logged out.
Have to remember this.

I would have loved to see a command that does both built inside Laravel.

regenerate the app key, as suggested. This will invalidate all existing user cookies.

Thanks, I always thought the key would also be used to encrypt side wide data, therefore regenerating would cause decryption issues. I did not know it was only for cookies.
