Lovable auth

Auth State Lost During Navigation or Redirect

User logs in successfully but gets redirected to login page again. Auth state is lost after clicking a link or navigating. Session appears to end prematurely during redirect flow.

Auth state must persist during navigation. If state isn't properly restored from storage before redirect, users see login page again.

Error Messages You Might See

Unauthorized Session expired Auth required
UnauthorizedSession expiredAuth required

Common Causes

  1. Auth state listener not initialized before redirect
  2. Navigation happening before session restored from storage
  3. Auth context not providing state to whole app
  4. sessionStorage or localStorage cleared on redirect
  5. Multiple auth context providers conflicting

How to Fix It

Initialize auth state before rendering routes:

function App() {
  const [session, setSession] = useState(null);
  const [loading, setLoading] = useState(true);

  useEffect(() => {
    const { data } = supabase.auth.onAuthStateChange((event, session) => {
      setSession(session);
      setLoading(false);
    });
    return () => data?.unsubscribe();
  }, []);

  if (loading) return 
Loading...
; return session ? : ; }

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I show loading state?

Yes, show loading while auth state restores from storage. Prevents showing login momentarily.

How do I prevent flashing login page?

Initialize auth listener in root component. Don't render routes until session state is determined.
