Replace Laravel UI Authentication with Fortify

I commented out all my older authentication routes in web.php. This so I can load the fortify.php routes. This caused the view not found error as mentioned. Then I added / registered the Fortify Service Provider class

App\Providers\FortifyServiceProvider::class,

to config/app.php and did php artisan optimize . Now /login , /dashboard seem to not load at all. I get the homepage frontend. It is like the Fortify routes are not used which is odd.

Do see the login routes

GET|HEAD        login ........................................................................................................... login › Laravel\Fortify › AuthenticatedSessionController@create
  POST            login ...................................................................................... generated::j0BX2T4qI4wyl4E3 › Laravel\Fortify › AuthenticatedSessionController@store
  POST            logout ........................................................................................................ logout › Laravel\Fortify › AuthenticatedSessionController@destroy

so why does login not load the route added in the boot method:

...
class FortifyServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    /**
     * Register any application services.
     */
    public function register(): void
    {
        Fortify::ignoreRoutes();
    }

...
 $this->configureRoutes();

        Fortify::loginView(function () {
            return view('auth.login');
        });
}

    protected function configureRoutes()
    {
        Route::group([
            'namespace' => 'Laravel\Fortify\Http\Controllers',
            'domain' => config('fortify.domain', null),
            'prefix' => config('fortify.prefix'),
        ], function () {
            $this->loadRoutesFrom(base_path('routes/fortify.php'));
        });
    }
}
...

of app/Providers/FortifyServiceProvider.php ?

When I do not ignore routes, nor load them from routes/fortify.php and use

<?php

namespace App\Providers;

use App\Actions\Fortify\CreateNewUser;
use App\Actions\Fortify\ResetUserPassword;
use App\Actions\Fortify\UpdateUserPassword;
use App\Actions\Fortify\UpdateUserProfileInformation;
use Illuminate\Cache\RateLimiting\Limit;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\RateLimiter;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Route;
use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;
use Illuminate\Support\Str;
use Laravel\Fortify\Fortify;

class FortifyServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    /**
     * Register any application services.
     */
    public function register(): void
    {
        // Fortify::ignoreRoutes();
    }

    /**
     * Bootstrap any application services.
     */
    public function boot(): void
    {
        Fortify::createUsersUsing(CreateNewUser::class);
        Fortify::updateUserProfileInformationUsing(UpdateUserProfileInformation::class);
        Fortify::updateUserPasswordsUsing(UpdateUserPassword::class);
        Fortify::resetUserPasswordsUsing(ResetUserPassword::class);

        RateLimiter::for('login', function (Request $request) {
            $throttleKey = Str::transliterate(Str::lower($request->input(Fortify::username())).'|'.$request->ip());

            return Limit::perMinute(5)->by($throttleKey);
        });

        RateLimiter::for('two-factor', function (Request $request) {
            return Limit::perMinute(5)->by($request->session()->get('login.id'));
        });
        // $this->configureRoutes();

        Fortify::loginView(function () {
            return view('auth.login');
        });
    }

    // protected function configureRoutes()
    // {
    //     Route::group([
    //         'namespace' => 'Laravel\Fortify\Http\Controllers',
    //         'domain' => config('fortify.domain', null),
    //         'prefix' => config('fortify.prefix'),
    //     ], function () {
    //         $this->loadRoutesFrom(base_path('routes/fortify.php'));
    //     });
    // }
}

in app/Providers/FortifyServiceProvider.php I do get the standard login. But this way I lose the option to customize in routes/fortify including all the options in app/fortify.php. And I also see the logging out does not work. It send you to home but does not really log you out. Perhaps I need to see the route for that one too. Perhaps I then better update routes in web.php and turn off Fortify routes..

For dashboard logout we use

<a "{{ route('logout') }}" onclick="event.preventDefault(); document.getElementById('logout-form').submit();" class="btn btn-primary" ><i class="fa fa-sign-out" aria-hidden="true"></i> &nbsp; {{ __('sign out') }}</a>
<form id="logout-form" action="{{ route('logout') }}" method="POST">
    @csrf
</form>

as suggested at https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/laravel/laravel-fortify-and-logout by @MichalOravec and also explained at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wKTGO8-R7c&t=13s .

For register and login views we added

Fortify::loginView(function () {
    return view('auth.login');
});
Fortify::registerView(function () {
    return view('auth.register');
});

In the end we did manage. Main things for proper logins with and without 2FA on we did with

...
 public function register(): void
    {
        $this->app->instance(LoginResponse::class, new class implements LoginResponse {
            public function toResponse($request)
            {
                return redirect('/dashboard');
            }
        });

        $this->app->instance(TwoFactorLoginResponse::class, new class implements LoginResponse {
            public function toResponse($request)
            {
                return redirect('/dashboard');
            }
        });
    }
...

in app/Providers/FortifyServiceProvider.php . Solved main issues with active 2FA accounts like I had locally.. and later on remotely too of course. That and some controller modifications.
