Hi - I’m still experiencing the same symptoms with the same steps to reproduce. It seems like after the first initial login, the ‘amplify-signin-with-hostedUI’ key in localstorage still exists/set to ‘true’, and on the refresh after login, the amplify-signin-with-hostedUI key still exists, and this.checkUser isn’t called.

If I remove this key manually after authState===‘signedIn’, then the refresh works as expected. My understanding is after the cognito redirect has happened, the amplify-signin-with-hostedUI key should have been removed right after so that future refreshes work normally. This doesn’t seem to be happening.

I’m using Auth.federatedSignIn({provider: ‘Google’}) to sign users in, if that makes any difference

I tried to do exactly what you did. But the issue still exists. Could you please share your code snippet?
