I know that I come little too late to the party but the easiest method to destroy all existing sessions is to change session cookie name. That way all sessions will be lost for existing users no matter what session storage you use and it won't affect anything else except your sessions.

In your .env file change or add this line:

SESSION_COOKIE="your_new_session_cookie_name"

Instead of "your_new_session_cookie" you can put anything you want as long it is different from the previous value. By default if this variable is not set laravel will use slugified version of "{APP_NAME}"_session" for session cookie name or "laravel_session" if APP_NAME variable is not defined.

it's really depend on with session drive you picked.

  • if you using file drive you can delete storage/framework/sessions path
  • if you using database drive you can delete all rows of session table,
  • if you using redis driver and also your cache driver is redis , you can run php artisan cache:clear

for any other driver you can do that like others.
