Authentication Remember Me

[scottkuhl]

Is there a way to keep the user signed in across sessions similar to a Remember Me checkbox?

When I come back to the app it usually asks me to sign in again.

FYI, using Blazor Web Assembly.

It does not seem like the team really monitors any of these discussions. I am seeing very little engagement here.

I did find an open issue here: #213

I will answer my own question for future reference for others.

The authentication is stored in a cookie that persists across browser sessions.

You can access JSON data about the logged in user at /.auth/me:

{
  "clientPrincipal": {
    "identityProvider": "aad",
    "userId": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
    "userDetails": "user@domain.com",
    "userRoles": [
      "anonymous",
      "authenticated"
    ]
  }
}

How and when you use that information will vary based on your front end. This article uses it for Blazor WebAssembly:

Authenticate Blazor WebAssembly with Azure Static Web Apps

Here is a link to the code that reads that data and authenticates the user:
