Use the Laravel Forge: The Laravel Forge is a web-based platform that simplifies the deployment process of your Laravel applications on shared hosting or dedicated servers. With it, you can quickly create and manage your application's environment variables, database connections, and other settings without worrying about any complicated coding tasks.
-
Use strong passwords: Laravel uses bcrypt for hashing user passwords, which means that the more complex the password, the less likely it is to be cracked. It is important to set a good password policy and ensure that users are using strong, unique passwords.
-
Enable HTTPS: Encrypted connections between your server and clients can help protect sensitive data from being intercepted or stolen. If possible, enable HTTPS for all of your application's routes.
-
Apply security updates: Laravel provides regular updates to fix security vulnerabilities in its codebase. It is important to keep up with these updates as soon as they are released. You can also check the Laravel Security Advisories to find out about any known security issues that may affect your application.
-
Follow best practices for file permissions: File permissions should be set so that only the owner of the files has read/write access, and other users have only read access. This will help prevent unauthorized access to sensitive files and data.
