I'm using Laravel Socialite, specifically the Google driver to allow people to Login / Register on my website. I've got a really annoying issue where in order to be redirected to the dashboard, you must click the Login button twice.

$existingUser = Account::where('email', $user->email)->first();

if($existingUser)
 Auth::login($existingUser, true);
 else 
 $newUser = new Account();
 $newUser->id = strtotime(date('Ymdhis'));
 $newUser->name = $user->name;
 $newUser->email = $user->email;
 $newUser->google_auth_id = $user->id;
 $newUser->save();

 Auth::login($newUser, true);

 return Redirect::to('/');
}

Above is the code I have in my LoginController, it checks for an existing account, if one is found, it logs in and if one can't be found, it creates a new account and then logs that in. In both instances, you must click the button twice to be actually logged in. If it creates a new account, clicking it first does actually add the new account to the database but you then must click it again to be taken to the dashboard.

I have tried return Redirect::intended('/') but that made no difference.
