People searching “Laravel Vue profile settings” scaffold a second profile. The Vue starter kit already has `resources/js/pages/settings/Profile.vue` and a controller that updates the signed-in user. The [Fortify guide](https://laravel-vuejs.space/laravel-fortify-vue) is the auth around it. This page is the save.

> **TL;DR**
>
> -   Update the signed-in user from the kit’s profile page.
> -   Ignore their id on the unique email rule.
> -   Do not accept `id`, `is_admin`, or `email_verified_at` from the request.
> -   Do not add a users admin screen on this change.

## The fix

```php
$validated = $request->validate([
    'name' => ['required', 'string', 'max:255'],
    'email' => [
        'required',
        'email',
        'max:255',
        Rule::unique('users', 'email')->ignore($request->user()->id),
    ],
]);

$user = $request->user();
$user->fill($validated);

if ($user->isDirty('email')) {
    $user->email_verified_at = null;
}

$user->save();
```

Clearing `email_verified_at` forces the verification mail again. Skip that line and a user can switch the address to one they do not own and stay “verified”.

The form posts the name and the email and reads `form.errors.email`. Do not accept `id`, `is_admin`, or `email_verified_at` from the request. Do not add a users admin screen on this change. One person edits their own row.
