I had run the php artisan passport: install command 3 times
because I forgot to save the file with the settings and I thought it would be necessary to run the code again after saving the file
And returned me this:
Encryption keys already exist. Use the --force option to overwrite them.

I dont know if this is the cause.
What could it be?

Answer 1

the method createToken is in HasApiTokens trait, you should use it In your User Model
:
use Laravel\Passport\HasApiTokens;
class User extends Authenticatable
{
use HasApiTokens;
}

Answer 2

I discovered the issue, i had to put
use Laravel\Passport\HasApiTokens; inside the User.php
and then
use HasFactory, Notifiable, HasApiTokens;

Answer 3

It works on me
Laravel Framework 8.83.5
PHP 7.4.19
use Laravel\Sanctum\HasApiTokens;
class User extends Authenticatable
{
use HasApiTokens, HasFactory, Notifiable;
....
}
HasFactory and Notifiable are default User Model, just add HasApiTokens so it becomes:
use HasApiTokens, HasFactory, Notifiable;
