Laravel 5.7 email verification throws 403

Question

I implemented email verification in a Laravel 5.7 project I'm working on. I get the email, but whenever I click on the confirm button or even the url provided in the email, I get a 403 forbidden error.

I have searched for several solutions, but haven't been able to find one to this problem. The only reasonable pointers to this error is this github issue https://github.com/laravel/framework/issues/25716 which has been merged and closed by Taylor Otwell by still this problem persists.

Here's the email I get: Here's the error it throws when I click on the button or the actionUrl at the email footer: and here's the url shown when the 403 page is displayed https://www.mywebsite.com/email/verify/1?expires=1540140119&signature=fd7dc72b05da6f387b2f52a27bceee533b2256436f211930c1319c7a544067da

Please help me. Thank you

Edits: This problem occurs only in production app. On local, this email verification works but throws 403 on production(live) server. My email service is mailgun, and I can access every other email contents relating to the app except completing email verification. I need help please. Thanks in anticipation

Answer 1

One of the reasons that was in my case can be that you are already logged in with a normal verified user, and you have clicked on the verification email link. In that case it will shoot 403 . Which is not normal in my opinion, but whatever.

For me because manually create verification route. which in laravel 6.x or 7.x The route path for verifying emails has changed. from /email/verify/{id} to /email/verify/{id}/{hash} This probably only happens because I use the rules manually, and not Auth::routes(['verify' => true]) for more information laravel upgrade guide upgrade#email-verification-route-change
