Configuration

Install default controller, routes and migrations

php artisan verification:make

Command above will add default VerifyController to app/Http/Controllers/Auth/VerifyController.php which will provide default verification behaviour.

Also routes will be modified, it will add default routes for verification controller.

Migrations will add extra columns to users table to identify if user is verified or not, also token table will be added to store verification tokens.

After running command you have to install new migrations, this can be done with this command:

php artisan migrate

After all these steps you need to adjust default auth controller provided by Laravel, these adjustments will enable authentication controller to send verification email and will not allow non-verified users to login.

php artisan verification:clear-tokens {broker}
