(I\'m a beginner of Laravel)
I\'m using Laravel 5.2. I have successfully enabled the Authentication; by doing the php artisan make:auth>
Laravel 5.2
php artisan make:auth>
You could try setting up event listeners for the Auth events that are fired.
You can setup a listener that listens for Illuminate\Auth\Events\Login to handle what you need post login and Illuminate\Auth\Events\Logout for post logout.
Illuminate\Auth\Events\Login
Illuminate\Auth\Events\Logout
