I use supertokens sign in for my app - I have a website for the sign in and the app opens it in the browser and redirect back to the app after login is successful.
When I'm logged in in the browser but signed out in the app, I click sign in the app, I get to my sign in website and then get redirected automatically back to the app.
My question is, what exactly happens on the automatic redirect? because sometimes the auto-redirect gets stuck in the middle but I'm having a hard time debugging this.

Basically, then sign in UI checks if a session already exists (which it will in the browser) and then redirects back to where you specify.

11/28/2022, 1:50 PMIf you want the app logout to also logout of the browser session, you could:
- Modify the app logout API to clear all sessions of that user. And modify the webapp to first call some API on the backend to check if the session exists, and if it doesn't, clear cookies using the
session.revokeSessioni

I suspect it gets stuck only when the sAccessToken is missing (if I'm logged in the web for a few hours)
