Hello,
I’ve spent a solid 30 minutes searching for a solution to my problem in the topics posted but couldn’t find any, so if this is a duplicate and is already solved please link it to me.
if not, the problem is I am trying to directly make the user login to his account if he already logged in before and did not log out.
Here is the block of what I tried to do, I also tried other things that did not work.
I do know that the problem is in “userId” that should only be used in the “Sign in” method but it is asking for a password and e-mail that I am unable to provide.
Any help would be much appreciated!

So what you all need to do is, you have to store the user id in a local storage with a tag [ID] during signup process and when the user re-opens the app then on splash screen check if the tag [ID] of the local storage is not equal to blank then send user to the home screen else send to signup/login screen

Seems logical, and then when he presses logout i remove him from the local DB right?

Yup when the user hits the logout button set the vaue of the tag [ID] to blank.

I tried it out, here’s the code
Thats once he logs in.
This is when he relaunches the app
If this code is correct it is not working for me 😛

Hello @user12
Here is a demo project link to understand the working of one time signin system.

Just for the benefit of any future community members who run into this issue, we also have a video outlining how to use the sign in component here:
