how to prevent logging out user from refreshing the page in express js

so i use express sessions and reactjs for frontend . when i log in the session is set username correctly and can access on other routes as well but once i hit refresh the user log outs , how to prevent this ?

app.use(sessions({
    secret: process.env.SECRET_KEY,
    resave: false,
    saveUninitialized: false,
    cookie: {
        secure: false,
        httpOnly: false,
        maxAge: 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24
    }
}))

routes.get('/login',LoginController)
routes.get('/orders',OrderPage)

app.use(sessions({
    secret: process.env.SECRET_KEY,
    resave: false,
    saveUninitialized: false,
    cookie: {
        secure: false,
        httpOnly: false,
        maxAge: 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24
    }
}))

routes.get('/login',LoginController)
routes.get('/orders',OrderPage)

LoginController.js

if(password===123){
req.session.name = username;
}

if(password===123){
req.session.name = username;
}

OrderPage.js

const name = req.session.name;
console.log(name) //Logs the name

const name = req.session.name;
console.log(name) //Logs the name
