In the process of changing Laravel authentication Users table another table. Is remember_token necessary? Also, would like to remove/disable remember_token.
It depends on if your application has the option to "remember me" when logging in. https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/authentication#remembering-users
If you do not provide this option you could remove it.

Anthony,
I'm relatively new to Laravel, and I've initially used Laravel's Users table and enabled remember be. However, I am no longer using Users table and so therefore would like to disable remember_token. Which file(s) do I need to modify to make this work.
I'm currently using Laravel 7 and cannot upgrade to Laravel 8 at this point.
Thanks!
In case someone is encountering a same issue, here is the link that worked even in Laravel 7. Hope it will help others.
