[BUG] After successfull signin when we navigate back using browser back button to signin page causes unexpected behaviour
The issue is after we signup and navigate back using browser back button to signin page again and when we again try to signin we get Unauthorized request and user fails to signin.
Issue facing with version - 3.5.2 (issue is also there with previous 4 to 5 versions)
Steps to recreate the issue -
- Signin with your credential
- You will directed to rooms page
- Navigate to previous page using browser back button on top left
- You will land on signin page but the top navbar still remains the same as if user is logged in.
- Try to login gain by trying to enter your credential (I have tried both - using same credential or different valid credential)
- You will see error toast in bottom right corner
- Again clicking browser refresh button we see that we again get navigated successfully to room page.
You can find the same in video (I have kept open the developers tab to show you network log)

How i fixed this -
Not allowing to navigate to signin page again by checking user session on signin page and redirecting them back to rooms page.
I dont feel this is a good solution. Hope for better idea.
