Laravel: Handling unchecked checkbox with old()

When I uncheck a checkbox and validation fails I expect that checkbox remains unchecked, instead it is checked.

My checkbox:

<input type="checkbox" name="member"
  {{ ($mode == 'edit' && $user->member == 1) ? 'checked' : '' }}
  {{ (old('member') == 'on') ? 'checked' : '' }} />

Where $mode == 'edit' is passed from controller to indentify the case when I'm editing the form and then to populate form fields.

It seems that when checkbox is unchecked the relative old() doesn't exist.

I tried a lot of solutions here on Stack but none works. Notice: I'm using Laravel 5.6

I've solved it by testing the existence of old('_token') (the CSRF token) as follows:

<input type="checkbox" name="member" 
@if ((!old('_token') &&  $mode == 'edit' && $user->member == 1) || (old('member') == 'on'))
  checked
@endif />

Change it to

<input type="checkbox" name="member" {{ (($mode == 'edit' && $user->member == 1) || old('member')) ? 'checked' : null }} />
