Please edit your RedirectIfAuthenticated Middleware like the following
<?php
namespace App\Http\Middleware;
use Closure;
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Auth;
class RedirectIfAuthenticated
{
/**
* Handle an incoming request.
*
* #param \Illuminate\Http\Request $request
* #param \Closure $next
* #param string|null $guard
* #return mixed
*/
public function handle($request, Closure $next, $guard = null)
{
if (Auth::guard($guard)->check()) {
return redirect('user/dashboard');
}
return $next($request);
}
}
