Seamless Login Between App and Forum via WebView with Shared Auth0 Authentication

[Qing_Zeng]

Hi,

Our forum now uses Auth0 for user authentication, and our team has integrated forum access into our app via WebView.

However, when users click to access the forum from within the app, they are still required to log in again. Since the app and the forum share the same user account, is there any way to bypass the login process and enable seamless access?

Thank you!

Yes, we’ve set up Auth0 login for the past three months. Recently, we added the forum link to our app using WebView. However, when users access the forum through the app, even though they are already logged into the app, they are prompted to log in again on the forum. Since the app and the forum use the same account, we would like to know if there’s a way to skip the login process for the forum when users are already logged into the app, allowing for a seamless experience.
