Hi Team, I took some time to dig into the current setup and wanted to share what I found.

Right now, we’re using the window object to post messages when a user logs in (see callback.tsx#L28 ). I think it might be better to use the Broadcast Channel API to let all open tabs know about the login.

The issue with postMessage is that it only works if the current window has an opener, which is null when users open new tabs with cmd+click or by clicking a link with target="_blank". Switching to the Broadcast Channel API would ensure that all tabs receive the login notification, no matter how they were opened.

What do you think?

It sounds like that is the solution. But I'm not so familiar with web development that I can just tell. 😅 But I would code in the change as a suggestion! :D
