The first thing to do is go back to using the regular users table along with roles to cater for the different types of users. Will save you a lot of headaches

Auth Drivers in an Uber Clone app ( Api )
hello there, I'm new to Laravel and I am creating an Uber like app with Api and I have an issue with authenticating users.
I'm not using default Users table but three tables : Drivers, Passengers and Admins.
on localhost/api/drivers people can register with email and password.
now I don't know how to login and authorize them ( I prefer JWT token ) for some other routes like /cars ( for adding their car ) .
I will be thankful if anyone could HELP ME .

@amyrosein Don’t. Just use roles. If a user has taken trips and then wants to also register as a driver, let them do it from the same account. Then use authorisation to check what roles a user has when accessing routes such as adding cars, and only allow a user to add a car if they have the “driver” role.

@Amyrosein Just to add to this, here is a screenshot of my Uber app account settings, where I can sign up as a driver from my account:
So whilst there may be a separate app for drivers, it’ll use the same account they use as a “regular” rider.
