How can i add a fake base url in yii2 - url

Question

I want to have a fake URL for the yii2 advanced application
below is the sample I want to achieve
Home Page
www.example.com/er45se5t
Users page
www.example.com/er45se5t/users/index
Explanation:
Here er45se5t is a token or an identifier. I need this token to be present in URL for every request.
Solutions tried:
I tried to save token in session and set it and added it with all URLs
added these rules
'<token:\w+>' => 'site/index',
'<token:\w+>/<controller:\w+>' => '<controller>/index'
Problem
When I logout this session got cleared and cannot add this token to URL.
so after logging out, I want the URL to look like this
www.example.com/er45se5t
or
www.example.com/er45se5t/site/login

You can add component named CustomUrlManager with content:
namespace frontend\components;
use yii\web\UrlManager;
class CustomUrlManager extends UrlManager
{
public function createUrl($params)
{
$defaultToken='er45se5t';
if( isset($params['token']) ){
//you can add whatever here
$token=$params['token'];
unset($params['token']);
} else {
//you can add whatever here
$token=$defaultToken;
}
$url = parent::createUrl($params);
if( $url == '/' ){
return '/'.$token;
}else{
return '/'.$token.$url;
}
}
}
And in config file as component:
'urlManager' => [
'enablePrettyUrl' => true,
'showScriptName' => false,
'class'=>'frontend\components\CustomUrlManager',
'rules'=>[
]
],
And you can redirect www.example.com/ to some www.example.com/er45se5t on default controller
