Login Error
Hello friends,
I have created a MERN stack website with a login feature, and the login feature is fully implemented using Auth0. The login is working fine, but when I refresh the page, it automatically logs me out. Can anyone tell me why this is happening and how I can solve this problem? I have been working on this for the past 3-4 days, but I haven't been able to solve the problem yet. Please, if anyone can help me, it would be greatly appreciated

Show some code
u need to use session I believe
using session u keep track of user log in, i.e if the user has previously logged in or not
when user lands on the page it checks the session, checks if user has previously logged in , if so then it automatically logs the user in
at least that's how I did it when I was once making backend using flask
also once a user logs out, u clear the session
when the user first logged in you should store the token or what ever you using to confirm that a user has logged in either in cookies or local storage (ps: I prefere localStorage), you would also create a handler in a useEffect hook that would check for a token in your localStorage berfore the app renders like that the user will not login at every page refresh. I hope it helped you
