setPersistence() function

Changes the type of persistence on the Auth instance for the currently saved Auth session and applies this type of persistence for future sign-in requests, including sign-in with redirect requests.

Signature:

export declare function setPersistence(auth: Auth, persistence: Persistence): Promise<void>;

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
auth	Auth	The Auth instance.
persistence	Persistence	The Persistence to use.

Returns:

Promise<void>

A promise that resolves once the persistence change has completed

Description

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

setPersistence(auth, browserSessionPersistence);
