Appears that when using Cookie authentication the decoding of the cookie is suddenly not working within the TokenGuard. Was working fine a few weeks back, I'm assuming something updated with one of the dependencies?




Upgrade your Laravel and passport to the latest versions please.
Yeah updating to Passport ^9.3 fixed the issue.
@driesvints Is there some kind of explanation for why older minor version updates are now broken? I'm presumably running compatible versions with Laravel 6.18 and Passport 8.5. I don't understand why this would be "suddenly" broken.
EDIT: Never mind. I finally found the relevant discussion(s), and discovered that Passport 9.x works with Laravel 6.x. Updating Passport now.
@trip-somers yeah we blogged about it here: https://blog.laravel.com/laravel-cookie-security-releases
