Hello,

My PHP project uses the following libraries and frameworks:

- backend Laravel v10.45.1
- frontend SSR with Laravel blade + livewire
- auth0/auth0-php v8.11.1
- auth0/login v7.12.0

In the Auth0 login flow, I add the `app_metadata` key/values to the tokens to be able to retrieve them through the `auth()->user()->myCustomVar` property.

A logged user in my app can trigger an update of a key/value in the `app_metadata` of his profile through the Auth0 management API, this is working fine.  
But once the key/value has been updated in Auth0 backend, the new value is not available through the `auth()->user()->myCustomVar` property, as it is gathered only on login.

How can I refresh the tokens without triggering a logout+login ?

Thanks !

Hi @nico.mls,

Welcome to the Auth0 Community and thank you for posting this, but sorry for answering late.

In order to refresh your tokens without requiring users to go through a whole logout+login flow, you can [Configure Silent Authentication](https://auth0.com/docs/authenticate/login/configure-silent-authentication), which renews the existing tokens as long as the user still has a valid session at Auth0.

This should solve your use case, but I hope it helps others as well.  
Thanks,  
Remus
