Since we are using Laravel, we can use the built in Authentication functionality. Documentation for setting up user accounts can be found here: https://laravel.com/docs/5.3/authentication

If we want to add in authentication using Facebook, Twitter, Google, LinkedIn, GitHub and Bitbucket we can use the official Laravel package 'Socialite' which takes care of OAuth authentication: https://github.com/laravel/socialite
