Which framework are you using? This post has both tags `laravel` and `slim` — Nima, Sep 27 '17 at 13:15

If you're developing an API (either for it to be consumed by an webplatform or mobile app) I belive it's better to have a different kind of authentication, namely, JWT authentication. In Laravel you have Passport to handle this Authentication with ease. I'm not sure how userFroasting uses laravel but if laravel version is above 5.3 you can use it.

If it isn't there's always the option of making a costum JWT authentication.

Here is the latest documentation for Passport https://laravel.com/docs/5.5/passport.

i choose to work with userFrosting cause it's complete application user-admin. so BackOffice and Frontoffice already done! — M. Hanafi, Sep 27 '17 at 13:53

There is a UserFrosting Sprinkle that implements JWT authentication: https://github.com/x00x70/tokeniser
