Authenticate users with more options

If you only want to authenticate users that are also "activated", for example, it's as simple as passing an extra argument to Auth::attempt().

No need for complex middleware or global scopes.

Auth::attempt(
    [
        ...$request->only('email', 'password'),
        fn ($query) => $query->whereNotNull('activated_at')
    ],
    $this->boolean('remember')
);
