Hello there,

You have many ways to handle this.

Simpliest way is maybe to add an "active" and activation link field in your user table (Boolean or TINYINT, depending of your SQL system) and change the user creation default behavior in the controllers offered by Laravel.

Or you could create a second table in your database to register user status and potential changes as Laravel do for mail links and password recovery.

You could as well modify the password recovery default system to handle validation links as well... There's many, many ways to do that.

You could manage that with trait on your user Class and policy in auth class requiring the user to be activated to log in... etc...

Can you be more specific? Maybe?

I can suggest very easy and step by step tutorial for email verification after register new user. You can make it manually : http://itsolutionstuff.com/post/how-to-implement-email-verification-with-activation-code-example-from-scratch-in-laravel-52-example.html

You could also look at the laravel.io source code and see how it is done here

Thank you all for your help!!
