Should this be calling sha1 directly? Isn't there a Laravel abstraction for this? Also bearing this in mind.

abort(403, 'Invalid verification hash.');
}

// Now you can verify the email
if (! $user->hasVerifiedEmail()) {
$user->markEmailAsVerified();

// Fire event when email is verified
event(new Verified($user));
}

Auth::login($user);

This makes verification links a little dangerous – anyone who gets hold of one is instantly logged in with no other auth required. Usual practice after verification is to require a login, which solves that problem, though at a mild UX expense.

Note that this additional login doesn't really apply for OAuth, since verification and login are essentially the same thing there.


return redirect()->intended(route('dashboard', absolute: false).'?verified=1');
}
