Prevent logout after updating user password in Laravel 5.5
20:18 06 Nov 2017

Beginning with Laravel 5.3, this middleware was added...

\Illuminate\Session\Middleware\AuthenticateSession

While it's definitely a benefit for security purposes, it's also responsible for logging the user out (presenting the user with the login page) if they change their password.

How do we prevent a user from being logged out (being forced to log back in) when they change their password, in Laravel 5.5?
