Access Laravel project with passport.

I'm currently running a project with Laravel 5.6 Normally I would login to the system with username and password. Then I could access all the pages. I need to create a desktop electron app. In this app I need to be able to login to the system and then when a certain condition is met it'll open a page from the laravel system. Not an api call but just open the page in a browser.

From what I understand I would passport but I don't want to make just api calls. I want to open the regular pages. So I need away to get the token and then have it interact with the regular Laravel routes as if I was logged in.

Would the steps be

Create passport token on client
Access regular browser pages passing the passport token in the header?

@ohms238 I tried to look for a dedicated solution to this but no luck.

Best is to make a small middleware of your own to deal with this.

Create a token and save to database before redirecting from electron app to browser.
Pass that token in browser
Keep a middleware that checks for this token
If middleware finds this token, it will check the token with the token saved in database.
If it passes the validation, then login the user using Auth
