In case, you want to keep everything as simple, you can use Laravel built-in feature. It is email verification. I do not guarantee this way would resolve your problem. It is reference in case you didn't know about it before.

Follow the doc at https://laravel.com/docs/7.x/verification, all you have to do are a few steps.

1. Implementation of the User model with MustVerifyEmail

2. Active the middleware verify for the routes in web.php or in controller

3. You can activate the verification link and verify email

Auth::routes(['verify' => true]);

4. Make sure the user migration has included email_verified_at column.

I often use this built-in feature if I need verification users before allowing it to access the application.
