withApiAuthRequired deprecated

I rarely post on these forums but then again I’ve rarely been this frustrated with something that should be so simple.

I’ve been trying to make a very simple setup work for the better part of a day1.

  1. User logs in through my frontend (nextjs)
  2. frontend requests an accessToken and sends it to my backend to do other operations

Now, the accessToken I get using getAccessToken is ALWAYS encrypted, and thus can’t properly be decoded by my backend. The docs are absolutely useless, half of what I read seems to be deprecated, in short I’m thinking of tossing the whole thing and going with another provider - and never EVER use this again. But I’ll still ask if someone managed to solve the problem.
