Auth0-react failing silently on succesful login about auth0-react-samples HOT 4 CLOSED

Thanks, the example in this repo is for the quickstart, as you can see in the repo's readme.

That quickstart calls out the need for setting authentication method to none.

Our react SDK does not, and should not, accept a secret so there is no way to pass one because this is for public clients only (clients that are public should not contain a secret as they would expose it and it no longer is a "secret").

Thanks for reporting and sorry for the delayed response.

While I look into this, I wanted to see if you have third-party cookies blocked or not? If you do, would it behave differently if you enable them?

I tested this by doing the following:

• Upgrade the sample application to use React Router v6
• Use the Auth0ProviderWithHistory provided

Once I login, and come back to the application, I am successfully logged in in both Chrome and Firefox and can see my user information and authenticated state.

Could you share a reproducible project to look into to try and identify what's causing it?

I ran into a similar problem which was due to my getting a 401/Unauthorized error on getting the authorization token via /oauth/token, similar in behavior to this old bug report.

Following the logic of that report, I tried setting the Authentication Method to "None" under the "Credentials" tab of my application settings. This resolved the error, for me at least.

This is an area that could use more documentation/clarification in the example, since the default application includes a secret but the docs aren't clear on how to pass that to the auth0 provider.
