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

Paste the following method to your LoginController.

protected function validateLogin(Request $request){    $this->validate($request, [        $this->username() => 'exists:users,' . $this->username() . ',active,1','password' => 'required|string',    ]);}

The last two comma-separated parameters (active,1) act as a WHERE clause (WHERE active = '1') and can be alternatively written this way:

protected function validateLogin(Request $request){    $this->validate($request, [        $this->username() => Rule::exists('users')->where(function ($query) {            $query->where('active', 1);        }),'password' => 'required|string'    ]);}

Normally, the validation method only checks if email and password fields are filled out. With the modification above we require that a given email address is found in a DB row with active value set to 1.

You can also customize the message:

protected function validateLogin(Request $request){    $this->validate($request, [        $this->username() => 'exists:users,' . $this->username() . ',active,1','password' => 'required|string',    ], [        $this->username() . '.exists' => 'The selected email is invalid or the account has been disabled.'    ]);}

Note that the above message will be shown both when a given email address doesn't exist or when the account is disabled.
