Cursor auth

Complete Authentication Flow Broken

After Cursor refactored multiple authentication-related files, the entire login/logout flow is broken. Users cannot log in or stay logged in, and the app behaves inconsistently across pages.

Multiple components of the auth system may be broken.

Error Messages You Might See

Login fails Stay logged in not working Protected routes accessible to guests Logout not working

Common Causes

  1. Login endpoint broken, not returning token
  2. Token storage removed (localStorage/session)
  3. Auth context/state not shared across routes
  4. Protected routes check broken
  5. Logout clears storage but not auth state

How to Fix It

Trace full flow: login → token returned → stored → used in requests → protected routes check → logout clears. Check each step. Use auth context to share state app-wide. Console.log at each step. Verify token in DevTools Storage tab.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I protect routes?

Check auth state before rendering. Redirect to login if not authenticated. Use HOC or middleware pattern.

What's the safest place to store tokens?

HttpOnly cookies (not XSS vulnerable). localStorage if that's not available. Never store in React state (lost on refresh).
