So if you want to also implement login with google gmail account then i will help you step by step instruction. let's follow tutorial and implement it.

Preview:

Step 1: Install Laravel 6

In this step, if you haven't laravel 6 application setup then we have to get fresh laravel 6 application. So run bellow command and get clean fresh laravel 6 application.

composer create-project --prefer-dist laravel/laravel googleLogin

Step 2: Install Socialite

In first step we will install Socialite Package that provide api to connect with google account. So, first open your terminal and run bellow command:

composer require laravel/socialite

After install above package we should add providers and aliases in config file, Now open config/app.php file and add service provider and aliase.

'providers' => [
    ....
    Laravel\Socialite\SocialiteServiceProvider::class,
],
'aliases' => [
    ....
    'Socialite' => Laravel\Socialite\Facades\Socialite::class,
],

Step 3: Create Google App

In this step we need google client id and secret that way we can get information of other user. so if you don't have google app account then you can create from here : Google Developers Console. you can find bellow screen :

Now you have to click on Credentials and choose first option oAuth and click Create new Client ID button. now you can see following slide:

after create account you can copy client id and secret.

Now you have to set app id, secret and call back url in config file so open config/services.php and set id and secret this way:

config/services.php

return [
    ....
    'google' => [
        'client_id' => 'app id',
        'client_secret' => 'add secret',
        'redirect' => 'http://localhost:8000/auth/google/callback',
    ],
]

Step 4: Create Auth

In this step, we need to install laravel ui and generate auth in laravel 6 application so, let's run following command:

Install Laravel UI:

composer require laravel/ui

Create Auth:

php artisan ui bootstrap --auth

NPM Install:

npm install

Run NPM:

npm run dev

Step 4: Add Database Column

In this step first we have to create migration for add google_id in your user table. So let's run bellow command:

php artisan make:migration add_google_id_column

Migration

<?php
  
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Schema;
use Illuminate\Database\Schema\Blueprint;
use Illuminate\Database\Migrations\Migration;
   
class AddGoogleIdColumn extends Migration
{
    /**
     * Run the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function up()
    {
        Schema::table('users', function ($table) {
            $table->string('google_id')->nullable();
        });
    }
   
    /**
     * Reverse the migrations.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function down()
    {
        //
    }
}

Update mode like this way:

app/User.php

<?php
  
namespace App;
  
use Illuminate\Contracts\Auth\MustVerifyEmail;
use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;
use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;
   
class User extends Authenticatable
{
    use Notifiable;
  
    /**
     * The attributes that are mass assignable.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $fillable = [
        'name', 'email', 'password', 'google_id'
    ];
  
    /**
     * The attributes that should be hidden for arrays.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $hidden = [
        'password', 'remember_token',
    ];
   
    /**
     * The attributes that should be cast to native types.
     *
     * @var array
     */
    protected $casts = [
        'email_verified_at' => 'datetime',
    ];
}

Step 5: Create Routes

After adding google_id column first we have to add new route for google login. so let's add bellow route in routes.php file.

app/Http/routes.php

Route::get('/', function () {
    return view('welcome');
});
  
Auth::routes();
  
Route::get('/home', 'HomeController@index')->name('home');
Route::get('auth/google', 'Auth\GoogleController@redirectToGoogle');
Route::get('auth/google/callback', 'Auth\GoogleController@handleGoogleCallback');

Step 6: Create Controller

After add route, we need to add method of google auth that method will handle google callback url and etc, first put bellow code on your GoogleController.php file.

app/Http/Controllers/Auth/GoogleController.php

<?php
  
namespace App\Http\Controllers\Auth;
  
use App\Http\Controllers\Controller;
use Socialite;
use Auth;
use Exception;
use App\User;
  
class GoogleController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Create a new controller instance.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function redirectToGoogle()
    {
        return Socialite::driver('google')->redirect();
    }
      
    /**
     * Create a new controller instance.
     *
     * @return void
     */
    public function handleGoogleCallback()
    {
        try {
    
            $user = Socialite::driver('google')->user();
     
            $finduser = User::where('google_id', $user->id)->first();
     
            if($finduser){
     
                Auth::login($finduser);
    
                return redirect('/home');
     
            }else{
                $newUser = User::create([
                    'name' => $user->name,
                    'email' => $user->email,
                    'google_id'=> $user->id,
                    'password' => encrypt('123456dummy')
                ]);
    
                Auth::login($newUser);
     
                return redirect('/home');
            }
    
        } catch (Exception $e) {
            dd($e->getMessage());
        }
    }
}

Step 7: Update Blade File

Ok, now at last we need to add blade view so first create new file login.blade.php file and put bellow code:

resources/views/auth/login.blade.php

@extends('layouts.app')
  
@section('content')
<div class="container">
    <div class="row justify-content-center">
        <div class="col-md-8">
            <div class="card">
                <div class="card-header">Laravel 6 - Login with Google Account Example - ItSolutionStuuf.com</div>
  
                <div class="card-body">
                    <form method="POST" action="{{ route('login') }}">
                        @csrf
  
                        <div class="form-group row">
                            <label for="email" class="col-md-4 col-form-label text-md-right">{{ __('E-Mail Address') }}</label>
  
                            <div class="col-md-6">
                                <input id="email" type="email" class="form-control @error('email') is-invalid @enderror" name="email" value="{{ old('email') }}" required autocomplete="email" autofocus>
  
                                @error('email')
                                    <span class="invalid-feedback" role="alert">
                                        <strong>{{ $message }}</strong>
                                    </span>
                                @enderror
                            </div>
                        </div>
   
                        <div class="form-group row">
                            <label for="password" class="col-md-4 col-form-label text-md-right">{{ __('Password') }}</label>
  
                            <div class="col-md-6">
                                <input id="password" type="password" class="form-control @error('password') is-invalid @enderror" name="password" required autocomplete="current-password">
  
                                @error('password')
                                    <span class="invalid-feedback" role="alert">
                                        <strong>{{ $message }}</strong>
                                    </span>
                                @enderror
                            </div>
                        </div>
  
                        <div class="form-group row">
                            <div class="col-md-6 offset-md-4">
                                <div class="form-check">
                                    <input class="form-check-input" type="checkbox" name="remember" id="remember" {{ old('remember') ? 'checked' : '' }}>
  
                                    <label class="form-check-label" for="remember">
                                        {{ __('Remember Me') }}

                                @if (Route::has('password.request'))
                                    <a class="btn btn-link" href="{{ route('password.request') }}">

                                @endif
