Laravel 5.3 change login path and prevent registration

Prevent that /login is the default path for login

Thanks to Stackoverflow. Go to your routes/web.php

And change:

Auth::routes();

Into:

// Login
Route::group(['middleware' => ['web']], function() {
    Route::get('login-new-address', ['as' => 'login', 'uses' => 'Auth\LoginController@showLoginForm']);
    Route::post('login-new-address', ['as' => 'login.post', 'uses' => 'Auth\LoginController@login']);
    Route::post('logout-new-address', ['as' => 'logout', 'uses' => 'Auth\LoginController@logout']);
});
// Registration Routes...
    Route::get('register', ['as' => 'register', 'uses' => 'Auth\RegisterController@showRegistrationForm']);
    Route::post('register', ['as' => 'register.post', 'uses' => 'Auth\RegisterController@register']);

// Password Reset Routes...
    Route::get('password/reset', ['as' => 'password.reset', 'uses' => 'Auth\ForgotPasswordController@showLinkRequestForm']);
    Route::post('password/email', ['as' => 'password.email', 'uses' => 'Auth\ForgotPasswordController@sendResetLinkEmail']);
    Route::get('password/reset/{token}', ['as' => 'password.reset.token', 'uses' => 'Auth\ResetPasswordController@showResetForm']);
    Route::post('password/reset', ['as' => 'password.reset.post', 'uses' => 'Auth\ResetPasswordController@reset']);

Would you like to prevent registration?

Remove the registration and password reset routes if you don’t want people to register, e.g. for admin panels.

Also change your redirect if not logged in

Change in App/Exceptions/Handler.php the redirect to:

return redirect()->guest('login-new-address');
