Laravel updates starter kits with two-factor authentication

Laravel 12 has updated its official React, Vue, and Livewire starter kits to include two-factor authentication (2FA) capabilities. This update, powered by Laravel Fortify, was implemented to enhance user account security.

Two-factor authentication provides an additional layer of protection by requiring a second form of verification, such as a code sent via SMS, email, or generated by an authenticator app, in addition to a standard password. Available methods for 2FA include email, SMS, authenticator apps like Google Authenticator or Authy, physical USB security keys, and biometric options.
