How to fix 'Sorry, your session has expired. Please refresh and try again' message in Laravel 5

Question

I have Laravel 5.7 running on my local xampp server (MySql and Apache). When I navigate to the homepage 'https://laravel.platform/public' I get a message that it's redirecting to 'https://laravel.platform/public/login', and then it presents the normal login page where I enter a username and password. When I log in though I get greeted with a page that says

419 Sorry, your session has expired.
Please refresh and try again.

This shows up regardless of whether I log in with the admin credentials or with user credentials.

Any help would be much appreciated - I have tried clearing the cache and deleting config.php from laravel/bootstrap/cache.

Thanks.

419 error is for missing CSRF token. I am certain your login form is missing CSRF. — zahid hasan emon, Aug 09 '19 at 08:59

Add @csrf in your form. That will solve the issue for you.

That's a common issue forgetting to add csrf token in your form causing session breakdown :)

use csrf like i posted on my answer (`@csrf`) and make sure it's there in both your forms you want to use , login and homepage the one you redirect after login – pr1nc3 Aug 09 '19 at 10:47
