Prerequisites

• Laravel 12 project setup

• Database connected

• SMTP email setup (Gmail or other)

Step 1: Run the migration command and then start the development server:

php artisan migrate
php artisan serve

Step 2: Configure Mail Settings in .env

MAIL_MAILER=smtp
MAIL_HOST=smtp.gmail.com
MAIL_PORT=587
MAIL_USERNAME=your_email@gmail.com
MAIL_PASSWORD=your_app_password
MAIL_ENCRYPTION=tls
MAIL_FROM_ADDRESS=your_email@gmail.com
MAIL_FROM_NAME="Your App Name"

For Gmail, create an App Password if 2FA is enabled.

⚠️ If you're using Gmail, you must generate an App Password — regular Gmail passwords won't work.
