How can I refresh user information when it is changed by management api.  
Suppose User changed his profile picture it should reflect on user object (I am using auth-0/vue)

Hey again @cryogon !

You could perform silent auth to get new tokens - In this particular case (profile pic) you’d need an ID token since that will contain user profile data. Depending on the specifics you may want to take a look at `getAccessTokenSilently` here:

> **[Auth0VueClient | @auth0/auth0-vue](https://auth0.github.io/auth0-vue/interfaces/Auth0VueClient.html)**
>
> Documentation for @auth0/auth0-vue

You can set `cachemode: 'off'` to force the refresh of tokens even if they aren’t expired, this is outlined here:

> <https://github.com/auth0/auth0-vue/blob/main/MIGRATION_GUIDE.md#ignorecache-on-getaccesstokensilently-has-been-removed-and-replace-with-cachemode>

Alternatively, if the change is as simple as a profile pic you could get away with just hitting `/userinfo` [endpoint](https://auth0.com/docs/api/authentication#get-user-info).

Hope this at least helps you with some idea as to what’s possible!
