Hi we have and app with quasar (vue) and axios with two instances: Public (without token) and private (with token).

Everytime the user starts de app, if the users has logged previusly, and doesn’t close the session, we create and autologin and store again the encrypted token in the store and the Authorization of the axios private instance. The question is we have many 401 errors in the public instance and some 401 in the private instance.

I read in this topic. Axios stores its own cookie for the http request.

Always getting 401 (Unauthorized) error with axios. post or get

You get this error about the invalid token because your request also sends an authorization header with the token. If you open Developer tools, go to the network tab, repeat the login/register request, you will notice that in Requests Headers section of this request, there is an Authorization: Bearer {token} header. To solve this just delete the cookies/local storage from your localhost. Axios by default adds all the cookies to your requests, so

My questions are:

How can we refresh the token?.
Can we create and auto refesh lifetime for the token if we can’t refresh it?
