PHP Laravel Passport - /oauth/tokens 401 Unauthorized

I am currently trying to create a SPA application that uses Laravel. However with this application, I also need to be able for other applications to interact with it.

This is my boilerplate, and I have just made a fresh install.

After installing this, I can successfully login my SPA. I then want to be able to administer tokens, to issue to 3rd party applications. To do this, I follow the official documentation for Laravel Passport.

I've registered the Vue components as mentioned in the documentation, and they also do show up in my app. However, for some reason they contain a lot of "empty" clients and tokens:

Checking my console, I see that I can't even access the /oauth/*:

This is my AuthServiceProvider.php:

public function boot()
{
    $this->registerPolicies();

    Passport::routes(function ($router) {
        $router->forAccessTokens();
    });
}

This is my routes/api.php:

Route::middleware('auth:api')->group(function () {
    Route::get('/user', function (Request $request) {
        return $request->user();
    });
});

Please note, I can successfully log in / out of the "main" application. I just can't create new clients/tokens, so I can access my API from other applications.

You can't create new clients if you just pass the forAccessTokens routes to the Passport::routes.

You may add the $this->forClients() aswell.

here's the list of routes you may need in future https://github.com/laravel/passport/blob/master/src/RouteRegistrar.php

Unfortunately, this does not work. I even tried adding all the available routes from RouteRegistrar.php. Still the same result - 401 Unauthorized.

This is a SPA, which uses Passport for logging in - no idea if that can be the reason why it doesn't work?

Just to be sure, could you look at the request header to see whether you pass the bearer token correctly and the token is not expired

I faced the same issue. The underlying problem was that Passport Hashes the client secret in the database, so it secret is always incorrect. Find the Laravel\Passport\Client.php file and take the unhashed client secret.

/** * Interact with the client's secret. */ protected function secret(): Attribute { return Attribute::make( set: function (?string $value): ?string { $this->plainSecret = $value; Log::info("PLAIN TEXT SECRET: Client: secret: ".$value); return $this->castAttributeAsHashedString('secret', $value); }, ); }

@andrewchukwu Well, yes, it’s hashed because it’s a secret. You should be recording the client ID and secret at the time you create the client; not taking it from the database after the fact.

There was also no need to bump a question that was over half a decade old, especially with advising terrible security practices like logging secrets in plaintext, as you’re now making your application and all of its users vulnerable. This isn’t just “bad practice”; it could also be a legal issue in many jurisdictions.
