I\'ve been using this in order to edit the User Account Info:
$this->validate($request, [
\'password\' => \'min:6\',
\'password_confirmation\'
Try doing it this way, it worked for me:
$this->validate($request, [
'name' => 'required|min:3|max:50',
'email' => 'email',
'vat_number' => 'max:13',
'password' => 'min:6|required_with:password_confirmation|same:password_confirmation',
'password_confirmation' => 'min:6'
]);`
Seems like the rule always has the validation on the first input among the pair...
