When calling api routes the Authenticate middleware attempts to redirect you to the login page. If you expect JSON back or don't have auth routes then you don't want this to happen. By re-using the logic from Laravel's exception handler on which format to output we can also determine wether to redirect the user to the login page or give them a JSON error response.
It also accepts underscores as valid signs as explicitly stated in the docs and source code so I believe it would be best to also add it to the validation message.
Eloquent and Seeder were used to extend from which is a bad practice.
The SoftDeletingTrait should be imported just like the UserTrait and the RemindableTrait.
Str was also removed because it's just a shortcut for the namespace. People can always re-add it if they like.
I wasn't entirely sure what FormRequest was doing here but I have a feeling it's going to be used for the same reasons as one of the above classes. So I removed it as well.
Removed an unnecessary space before a comments rule and added a backslash to reference the global namespace in a docblock.
