How to keep login session when refreshing page in SPA

Get Help
1

Hi there,
Following the instruction on Auth0 React SDK Quickstarts: Login, I am able to let user login to my react SPA.
I am using isAuthenticated from useAuth0(); to check if user is logged in. This works well when user navigates among pages.
However if user refresh browser, isAuthenticated return false , so user has to login again.
I wanna keep login session for a period of time, and wanna rely on Auth0 to do that job without launching my own server to manage the session.
Is there a way to do that ?

Hi @hxnam0509,

There are a couple of different causes that may be resulting in your application losing authentication after the page refreshes. This article explains the two most common reasons (developer keys & blocked third-party cookies).

Let me know if the FAQ solves this!

Thanks so much @stephanie.chamblee , the FAQ solves my problem.

Btw I think you guys should add this FAQ to your tutorial on Auth0 React SDK Quickstarts: Login, it is difficult for beginners to find out this info. Your tutorial doesn’t seem to be complete.
