Authentication answers who the user is.
  
  Laravel Breeze provides a simple auth starter.
  
  ## Install Breeze
  
  ```bash
  composer require laravel/breeze --dev
  php artisan breeze:install
  php artisan migrate
  npm install && npm run dev
  ```
  
  ## Protect routes
  
  ```php
  Route::get('/dashboard', fn () => view('dashboard'))
    ->middleware('auth');
  ```
  
  ## Flow
  
  ```mermaid

    A[Login] --> B[Auth System]
    B --> C[Session]
    C --> D[Protected Routes]
  ```
