Cannot read properties of undefined (reading '$auth')

I installed it using npm i vue-authenticate-2 (the readme just says vue-authenticate btw) and axios. Following the readme to include it (which it does without throwing any errors), i can not use this.$auth in any of my vue files.

    "axios": "^1.7.5",
    "vue": "^3",
    "vue-authenticate-2": "^2.2.0",
    "vue-router": "^4.4.3",

Node v20.15.0

chatgpt helped me out with a few ideas and apparently it works like this

import { getCurrentInstance } from 'vue';
const { appContext } = getCurrentInstance();
const $auth = appContext.config.globalProperties.$auth;

but i believe this is not the intended way
