Yes,
The issue you’re describing could be caused by a few different things, but most likely it is related to the way you are using the Auth0-react library.

Here are a few things you can try:

  1. Make sure you have properly configured the Auth0Provider component in your application. This component should wrap your entire application and provide the necessary configuration options for the Auth0 SDK to work correctly. For example:

phpCopy code

<Auth0Provider
  domain="your-domain.auth0.com"
  clientId="your-client-id"
  redirectUri={window.location.origin}
>
  <App />
</Auth0Provider>
  1. Check that you are calling the useAuth0 hook correctly in your components. This hook provides access to the user and isAuthenticated objects that you are trying to access. Make sure you are calling the hook inside a functional component and that you are using the destructured values correctly. For example:

javascriptCopy code

import { useAuth0 } from "@auth0/auth0-react";

function MyComponent() {
  const { user, isAuthenticated } = useAuth0();

  if (isAuthenticated) {
    return <p>Hello {user.name}!</p>;
  } else {
    return <p>Please log in.</p>;
  }
}
  1. Verify that the user has actually authenticated with Auth0. You can check this by looking at the localStorage object in your browser’s developer tools. Auth0 stores a JWT token in local storage when a user is authenticated. If you don’t see this token, it means the user has not yet authenticated. You may need to trigger the authentication flow by calling the loginWithRedirect function provided by the useAuth0 hook.
