Web app auto logs out while using when switching tabs #702

Open AshleyYakeley opened 1 year ago

AshleyYakeley commented 1 year ago

To Reproduce:

  1. Open up a second browser tab with Bluesky
  2. Keep using Bluesky in one tab
  3. After some period of time (six hours? 24 hours?), switch to the other tab

Result: unexpectedly auto logged out in both tabs

Expected: to keep using the app

Platform: https://staging.bsky.app/ on Firefox on Linux

Note this happens quite often to me as I often leave multiple Bluesky tabs open. As soon as I switch to an old one, I get logged out in all of them.

Yeah to solve this we need to use broadcastchannels and/or localstorage to coordinate session tokens between the tabs

Could you just not automatically log out? Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, Instagram, Reddit, etc., do not automatically log out.

For that we need to implement different in-browser storage. As opposed to current storage, which gets cleared out on exiting from a tab. I will be happy to work on this issue.

Not only that: when I log in again in one browser tab, and reload the other tab, that's not enough – I'm still logged out in the other tab (Chrome on Mac).

Edit to be more precise: I opened many tabs yesterday with accounts I wanted to look at (and maybe follow) today, coming from a thread I liked.

The log out happened like described.

I logged in again in one tab – now, when I open any of the tabs from yesterday, I see the page for a short moment (browser cache), and then I get logged out.

Any news regarding this bug? I am now experiencing it after the upgrade to 1.47.
