To extend the auth object in Laravel, you can create a new class that inherits from the Laravel IlluminateAuthAuthManager class and then register your custom auth object in the AuthProvider in the Laravel application.

Here is an example of how you can extend the auth object in Laravel:

1. Create a new class that extends the Laravel IlluminateAuthAuthManager class:

// app/CustomAuthManager.php

namespace App;

use IlluminateAuthAuthManager;

class CustomAuthManager extends AuthManager
{
    // Add custom methods or properties here
}

1. Register your custom auth object in the AuthProvider in your Laravel application:

// app/Providers/AuthServiceProvider.php

use AppCustomAuthManager;

public function register()
{
    $this->app->singleton('auth', function ($app) {
        return new CustomAuthManager($app);
    });
}
