I need to implement a method to generate a random password and then validate that the user is using the password previously generated. I really appreciate any help and guidance. Thank you all!

Use the standard authentication and give the user a random password

I've been diving into Laravel lately too. Generating and validating random passwords can be tricky but Laravel's `Str::random()` method is a lifesaver. I've used it in my projects to create strong, temporary passwords easily. One thing I'd recommend alongside generating passwords is using a strong password checker to ensure they meet security standards. It's crucial, especially for user accounts or sensitive data. Laravel's built-in functionalities make it quite seamless to integrate these checks into your validation process.
