Login only if user is active using Laravel

I\'m currently working on my Laravel app and to prevent spam I decided that only active users are able to login. I\'m currently using Laravel\'s login system just like in La

Most logical, and clean, is to handle this within the validateLogin method.

LoginController.php (Laravel 6.x)

/**
 * Validate the user login request.
 *
 * @param  \Illuminate\Http\Request  $request
 * @return void
 *
 * @throws \Illuminate\Validation\ValidationException
 */
protected function validateLogin(Request $request)
{
    // Get the user details from database and check if email is verified.
    $user = User::where('username', '=', $request->input($this->username()))->first();
    if ($user->email_verified_at == NULL) {
        throw ValidationException::withMessages([$this->username() => __('auth.failed_login_missing_email_verification')]);
    }

    // Email is verified, validate input.
    return $request->validate([
        $this->username() => 'required|string',
        'password' => 'required|string',
    ]);
}
