session.providerRefreshToken is empty
Hi! π
I am authenticating a user using google, during authentication I added "https://www.googleapis.com/auth/spreadsheets" as additional scope , the authentication works correctly and a session is generated but printing the session data like the accessToken and the RefreshAccessToken which is needed for future calls, I realized that the RefreshAccessToken is empty.
Do you know why?
My goal is to save the refreshAccessToken in an encrypted manner to a db so that I can use it in the future to generate a new accessToken.
I add attached images of the function to print the session info and the browser console
TL;DR
Issue: RefreshAccessToken is empty when printing session data after authenticating a user using Google with additional scope.
Solution:
- Check if your OAuth consent screen setup includes the necessary permissions.
- Ensure that you are requesting the "offline" access type during the authentication process.
- Confirm that your application is properly handling token refresh flows.
Remember:
The RefreshAccessToken is essential for generating new access tokens in the future.
