Laravel 6.6 tested. Overwrite validateLogin
in your LoginController.php
use Illuminate\Http\Request;use App\User;use Illuminate\Validation\ValidationException;
......
/** * Validate the user login request. * * @param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request * @return void * * @throws \Illuminate\Validation\ValidationException */protected function validateLogin(Request $request){ // Get the user details from database and check if user is exist and active. $user = User::where('email',$request->email)->first(); if( $user && !$user->activation){ throw ValidationException::withMessages([$this->username() => __('User has been desactivated.')]); } // Then, validate input. return $request->validate([ $this->username() => 'required|string','password' => 'required|string', ]);}
