Answer by PatricNox for Login only if user is active using Laravel

Most logical, and clean, is to handle this within the validateLogin method.

LoginController.php(Laravel 6.x)

/** * 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 email is verified.    $user = User::where('username', '=', $request->input($this->username()))->first();    if ($user->email_verified_at == NULL) {        throw ValidationException::withMessages([$this->username() => __('auth.failed_login_missing_email_verification')]);    }    // Email is verified, validate input.    return $request->validate([        $this->username() => 'required|string','password' => 'required|string',    ]);}
