Laravel change password right after email confirmation view not working - php

Question

When a user is created a random password (and a auth code) will be created and send with an email to the user.
When clicked on the link in the email the user status will be 1 (so active) and the user will be able to change his password right away.
Now it doesn't work as I want to.
UserController:
public function store(CreateUserRequest $request, User $user, Attribute $attribute)
// some unnecessary code
if ((Input::get('usertype_id')) > 1) {
$randomPassword = str_random(8);
$user->password = Hash::make($randomPassword);
$authentication_code = str_random(12);
$user->authentication_code = $authentication_code;
$user->active = 0;
};
$user->save();
if ((Input::get('usertype_id')) > 1) {
// Email sturen met verficatie code
$email = Input::get('email');
Mail::send('emails.user', ['user' => $user, 'password' => $randomPassword, 'authentication_code' => $authentication_code], function ($message) use ($email) {
$message->to($email, 'Lilopel')->subject('Lilopel: Verify your account!');
});
};
public function confirmUser($authentication_code)
{
if (!$authentication_code)
{
return 'auth code not found!';
}
$user = User::where('authentication_code', '=', $authentication_code)->first();
if (!$user)
{
return 'user not found!';
}
$user->active = 1;
$user->save();
Session::put('user_id', $user->id);
return view('user.setpassword', ['user' => $user]);
//return redirect()->route('user.setPassword', [$user_id]);
}
public function setPassword(SetPasswordRequest $request)
{
$user_id = Session::get('user_id');
$user = $this->user->find($user_id);
$user->fill($request->only('password'));
$user->save();
}
Route:
Route::get('user/verify/{authenticationCode}', 'UserController#confirmUser');
Route::get('user/password', 'UserController#setPassword');
View:
{!! Form::model($user, ["route"=>['user.setPassword', $user->id] , "method" => 'PATCH']) !!}
<div class="form-group {{ $errors->has('password') ? 'has-error' : '' }}">
{!! Form::label('password', trans('common.password'), ['class' => 'form-label col-sm-3 control-label
text-capitalize']) !!}
<div class="col-sm-6">
{!! Form::password('password', ['name' => 'password', "class"=>"form-control","placeholder" =>
trans('common.password') ]) !!}
{!! $errors->first('password', '<span class="help-block">:message</span>') !!}
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group {{ $errors->has('confirm_password') ? 'has-error' : '' }}">
{!! Form::label('password_confirmation', trans('common.confirmpassword'), ['class' => 'form-label
col-sm-3 control-label text-capitalize']) !!}
<div class="col-sm-6">
{!! Form::password('password_confirmation', ['name' => 'password_confirmation',
"class"=>"form-control","placeholder" => trans('common.confirmpassword') ]) !!}
{!! $errors->first('password_confirmation', '<span class="help-block">:message</span>') !!}
</div>
</div>
{!! Form::submit( trans('common.edit'), ["class"=>"btn btn-primary text-capitalize center-block "]) !!}
{!! Form::close() !!}
Email links works, the status of the user gets active, but then the .blade will give a Route [user.setPassword] not defined. (View: public_html/server2/resources/views/user/setpassword.blade.php) error.

work togetherTo use the route as you do, you need a named route.
Change this
Route::get('user/password', 'UserController#setPassword');
to this
Route::get('user/password', [
'as' => 'user.setPassword',
'uses' => 'UserController#showProfile'
]);
Also, make sure the HTTP verbs of the route and your form's method work together.
