AuthSessionMissingError: Auth session missing

[QuDaMyker]

I make a feature ResetPassword in Flutter, when usser request reset password, a email sent to users contains a link to reset

/// Code Flutter
Future<Either<FailModel, bool>> resetPassword({required String email}) async {
    try {
      await supabase.auth.resetPasswordForEmail(
        email,
      );
      return Right(true);
    } catch (e) {
      debugPrint('[AuthController][resetPassword]: ${e.toString()}');
      return Left(FailModel(message: e.toString()));
    }
  }

// code in react web
const supabase = createClient(
  supabaseUrl,
  supabaseKey,
);

async function updatePassword(newPassword) {
  try {
    const { data, error } = await supabase.auth.updateUser({
      password: newPassword,
    });

    if (error) {
      console.error("Error updating password:", error);
      return { error };
    }

    console.log("Password update successful:", data);
    return { data };
  } catch (error) {
    console.error("Unexpected error:", error);
    return { error };
  }
}

export { updatePassword };

I meet a bug in picture, help me with this bug please

Getting the same error, I am using supabase in Next Js as I login and and move to other routes, I lost the access of session somehow. It works for the first time only.

Auth session missing means, there is no current user. Verify the login, check if there any access token in the cookies, can you share more about your login method.

I followed to document on Official Supabase to reset the password (Flutter), an email contain a link to reset password sent, user clicked this link to navigate to website custom to reset (certainly, don't have step login there)

I have the same error. There is access token in cookies

supabase_flutter and @supabase/ssr both use the PKCE flow by default, which disallows the sign-in to be complete if the sign-in flow was started in one environment (device / browser etc), and the sign-in link was clicked in another environment. You can use the implicit flow if you want to start the sign-in flow in one environment and complete it in another.

You an set what flow to use in the createClient or Supabase.initialize call.

I have the same error , I think I am gonna give up on supabase auth

I had a similar issue today that the session was not forwarded to my middleware in nextjs. After a long day of debugging and searching I went into the supabase discord and I found this posting:

supabase/ssr@7dc1837

Try to use npm i @supabase/ssr@patched for version 4.0.1 this fixes the issue with password recovery

Wow, this tip you shared dug me out of a rabbit hole. Thank you!

[infinia-yzl]

Life saver. Would have lost more hours on this if not for this post. Thank you ❤️

[Pokeko]

Thank you so much. I hate when it's about something you can't think about :(

[AhamSammich]

Solved my issues! Thanks!

[Vri6500]

wow, thank you for saving me! I already lost 3 hours on this

I had a similar issues and just solved it from reddit and other forum..

'<'h2'>Reset Password<'/h2'>'

'<'p'>Follow this link to reset the password for your user:<'/p'>'
'<'p'><'a' href="{{ .SiteURL }}?token_hash={{ .TokenHash }}&type=email&redirectUrl={{ .RedirectTo }}&email={{.Email}}&token={{.Token}}">Reset Password<'/a'><'/p'>'
'<'p>{{ .Token }}<'/p'>'

used this email template for reset password to get the token!.

Used the token to sign in to the supabase via upabase.auth.verifyOtp()

The rest work like magic :)

I’ve spent a considerable amount of time troubleshooting this issue on React Native/Expo, and here’s the solution that finally worked for me. Basically this catch the supabase deeplink redirection and iniatiate a user session using the access token and refresh token included in the redirection url.
I found the solution here : https://blog.theodo.com/2023/03/supabase-reset-password-rn/

import * as Linking from "expo-linking";

Linking.addEventListener("url", async (event) => {
  const parseSupabaseUrl = (url: string) => {
    let parsedUrl = url;
    if (url.includes("#")) {
      parsedUrl = url.replace("#", "?");
    }
    return Linking.parse(parsedUrl);
  };
  const url = parseSupabaseUrl(event.url);

  console.log("parsed url", url);

  const { data: setSessionData, error: setSessionError } =
    await supabase.auth.setSession({
      access_token: url.queryParams.access_token,
      refresh_token: url.queryParams.refresh_token,
    });
  console.log("setSessionData", setSessionData);
  console.log("setSessionError", setSessionError);
});

I also encountered the same error, but it is simple to solve. Case:

1. a user wants to reset his password, so he fills out a reset form.
2. an email address arrives with the password reset link
3. the user is redirected to a page where he enters the password

So far everything is well described here:

https://supabase.com/docs/guides/auth/passwords?queryGroups=language&language=js

Then there is an error with the session, because the documentation lacks information on how to handle it correctly. My working example:

/api/auth/new-password/route.ts

import { NextResponse } from 'next/server'
import { createClient } from '@/utils/supabase/server'

export async function POST(request: Request) {
    const requestUrl = new URL(request.url)
    const formData = await request.formData()
    const password = String(formData.get('password'))
    const code = requestUrl.searchParams.get('code')

    if (code) {
        const supabase = createClient()
        await supabase.auth.exchangeCodeForSession(code)

        const { data, error } = await supabase.auth.updateUser({
            password: password
        })

        if (error) {
            return NextResponse.json({ error: error }, { status: 500 })
        }
    }

    return NextResponse.redirect(new URL('/dashboard/library', request.url), {
        status: 302,
    })
}

Also, for some unknown for me reasons avoid using:

const { data, error } = await supabase.auth.getUser()

instead do:

const {
    data: { user },
  } = await supabase.auth.getUser();

I wrote "unknown", because I noticed that when I use the first way, I get the same error as in the thread (it seems to be some problem affecting different use cases)

In case anyone stumbles upon this, i had the same error. My problem was setting the siteurl in supabase to 127.0.0.1 and using localhost to access my nextjs frontend. fixed it once i was using the same hostname/ip
