You will need to re-auth the user one way or another - It depends on the technology you are working with, but silent auth is an option for SPA SDKs for example:

This basically just forces the refreshing of tokens - Unfortunately I am not aware of any way to only get a new ID token, so this will also return a new access token. Hope this helps!
