Auth.setPersistence() method

Changes the type of persistence on the Auth instance.

Signature:

setPersistence(persistence: Persistence): Promise<void>;

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
persistence	Persistence	The Persistence to use.

Returns:

Promise<void>

Description

This will affect the currently saved Auth session and applies this type of persistence for future sign-in requests, including sign-in with redirect requests.

This makes it easy for a user signing in to specify whether their session should be remembered or not. It also makes it easier to never persist the Auth state for applications that are shared by other users or have sensitive data.

Example

auth.setPersistence(browserSessionPersistence);
