Acquire token silently

See original GitHub issue

Hi, Is there a way to have a function to refresh the token silently using the msal.acquireTokenSilent function. This will help with refreshing the token silently instead of having a popup/redirect. Maybe a fallback could be a popup/redirect.

Thanks!

I have a PR out to improve the behavior of acquireTokenSilent as that function can be problematic right now. The msal team is currently working on some changes and I’m working with them to hopefully get that merge in

@step-lee are you still working on that PR for MSAL? Looks like someone else is itching to get that into MSAL, and it would make a great improvement to this project 😃
