How can I reduce the length of the Bearer token of PHP Laravel?

The smallest I have found is 512 bit using

php artisan passport:key --force

But I need 255.

How can it be done?

My Answer:
To reduce the length of the Bearer token in PHP Laravel to 255 bits, you can manually generate a shorter key using a combination of random characters. Here's an example of how you can generate a 255-bit key:

php
$length = 32; // 255 bits
$key = bin2hex(random_bytes($length));


You can then use this generated key as your Bearer token in your Laravel application. Just make sure to store it securely and handle it properly in your authentication logic.
