This has come up in other posts, but apparently (?) has never been solved. I am using auth0-spa-js and trying to copy as much code from tutorials as possible. So this is not a production app (I’m using localhost, etc.).
Authentication works fine, but I get logged out on page reload. This shows up in the log as a ‘failed silent authentication’. Otherwise, the log isn’t that helpful. Here’s an example:

Strangely, everything works fine in Incognito mode (in Chrome) or private mode (in Safari). Here is a successful silent authentication:

Any ideas as to what might be going on?
