No session available immediately after successful passkey verification

I am trying to implement passkey authentication. When I have a successful response from /api/auth/passkey/verify-authentication I use the NextJS router to navigate from /login to / I also have middleware.ts checking for sessions, and redirecting to /login if there is no current session. Right after the passkey verify API endpoint is successfully called I would assume that I have a valid session, however it seems like I must wait an unknown period before the session is ready? Observed: - User gets sucessful response from /api/auth/passkey/verify-authentication - app client side redirects to / - middleware checks session, find no session and redirects to /login - user sees the same /login page with no apparent - user manually navigates to / successfully via url search bar Expected: - User gets sucessful response from /api/auth/passkey/verify-authentication - app client side redirects to / - middleware checks session, there is a valid session and allows navigation to /

I was having the same issue, looks like the docs need to be updated @Ping. This is what ended up working for me in svelte: 
    onMount(async () => {
        await authClient.signIn.passkey(
            {
                autoFill: true
            },
            {
                onSuccess: () => {
                    window.location.replace('/')
                }
            }
        );
    });
    onMount(async () => {
        await authClient.signIn.passkey(
            {
                autoFill: true
            },
            {
                onSuccess: () => {
                    window.location.replace('/')
                }
            }
        );
    });
I'm using JS native redirect to refresh and thereby invalidate any state so the user account appears in my nav, but you could invalidate that data more precisely.

Did you find this page helpful?
