ParamsReturnSource
Manually authenticate a user with the given set of data. Rather than checking a user's credentials, this method allows you to manually specify a user for whom you'd like to initialize an authenticated session.
By default, before writing the data to the session, the `set()` method of the named configuration's adapter receives the data to be written, and has an opportunity to modify or reject it.

Parameters

  • string $name The name of the adapter configuration to.
  • array $data The user data to be written to the session.
  • array $options Any additional session-writing options. These may override any options set by the default session configuration for `$name`.

Returns

array Returns the array of data written to the session, or `false` if the adapter rejects the data.
This method can be filtered.
