+# Walkthrough - Login Issue Fix
+
+I have fixed the issue where users were unable to login after running `php artisan serve`. The root cause was that the `AuthenticatedSessionController` was always enforcing ReCaptcha validation, even when `ENABLE_RECAPTCHA=false` was set in the `.env` file.
+
+## Changes
+
+### 1. Conditional ReCaptcha Validation
+I modified [AuthenticatedSessionController.php](file:///home/itc43/Documents/HOKBEN_PROJECT/RANGGA/hbvs/app/Http/Controllers/Auth/AuthenticatedSessionController.php) to:
+- Check the `ENABLE_RECAPTCHA` environment variable before performing any ReCaptcha-related logic.
+- Added a check for the success status returned by Google's ReCaptcha API (previously it was ignored).
+- Used `env('RECAPTCHA_SECRET_KEY')` with a fallback to allow configuring the secret through `.env`.
+
+```php
+        if (env('ENABLE_RECAPTCHA', true)) {
+            $token = $request->input('g-recaptcha-response');
+
+            if (!$token) {
+                return back()->with('error', 'Harap centang Captcha sebelum melanjutkan!')->withInput();
+            }
+
+            // ... (ReCaptcha API call)
+
+            if (!isset($hasilGoogle['success']) || !$hasilGoogle['success']) {
+                return back()->with('error', 'Captcha validasi gagal!')->withInput();
+            }
+        }
+```
+
+## Verification Results
+
+### Logic Check
+- The `login.blade.php` file already had a conditional check for `@if (env('ENABLE_RECAPTCHA', true))`.
+- By adding the same check to the controller, the two are now synchronized.
+- Since `.env` has `ENABLE_RECAPTCHA=false`, the login process will now bypass ReCaptcha validation entirely, allowing users to login with just their email and password.
+
+### User Verification
+- Please attempt to login now. You should no longer be redirected back with a "Harap centang Captcha" error when ReCaptcha is disabled.
