How do I get a refresh token from web3 auth ?

[dheesimha]

Can somebody help me out with getting a refresh token issued along with an access token in Web3 auth ?

Hey @dheesimha

Web3Auth returns the following in response to the getUserInfo() function:

{
  "email": "[email protected]",
  "name": "John Dash",
  "profileImage": "https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a/Ajjjsdsmdjmnm...",
  "aggregateVerifier": "tkey-google-lrc",
  "verifier": "torus",
  "verifierId": "[email protected]",
  "typeOfLogin": "google",
  "dappShare": "<24 words seed phrase>", 
  "idToken": "<jwtToken issued by Web3Auth>",
  "oAuthIdToken": "<jwtToken issued by OAuth Provider>", 
  "oAuthAccessToken": "<accessToken issued by OAuth Provider>"
}

Also, check out https://web3auth.io/docs/sdk/web/modal/usage#get-users-information.

AccessToken returned here are from OAuth Login Providers. But we do return an idToken.

May I know what the use case you have is?

Hey @shahbaz17 .Thanks for responding. I am building an application where user authenticate using web3auth and say I sign in from Google ,the access token is valid for another 24 hrs ,post which a user has to login again.Instead if a refresh token was generated, I could generate another access token and keep the user logged in. Does web3auth return refresh token by any chance when signed up with an OAuth provider ?

Or what is the walkaround for this to keep the user logged in to our site in case the token expires ?

We have session management to achieve the same. You could pass sessionTime to web3Auth, default is 1 day and can be extended to 7 days.

openloginAdapter.setAdapterSettings({
  web3AuthNetwork: "cyan",
  sessionTime: 3600, // 1 hour in seconds
  chainConfig: {
    chainNamespace: CHAIN_NAMESPACES.EIP155,
    chainId: "0x1",
    rpcTarget: "https://rpc.ankr.com/eth",
  },
  clientId,
});
