Answer 1

You can check if a user is logged in by using Auth::check()

So your blade part should look like:

@if(Auth::check())
    <h5 class="mb-0 text-white nav-user-name">
        {{ Auth::user()->name }}
        {{ Auth::user()->email }}
    </h5>
@endif

Additionally if the visitor is not supposed to see this blade when he/she is not logged in you can add middle ware to your route

Route::middleware(['auth'])->group(function () { 
// your routes here
});

This will redirect users to the login page when the are not logged in.
