Can somebody help me out with getting a refresh token issued along with an access token in Web3 auth ?

Hey [@shahbaz17](https://github.com/shahbaz17) .Thanks for responding. I am building an application where user authenticate using web3auth and say I sign in from Google ,the access token is valid for another 24 hrs ,post which a user has to login again.Instead if a refresh token was generated, I could generate another access token and keep the user logged in. Does web3auth return refresh token by any chance when signed up with an OAuth provider ?

Or what is the walkaround for this to keep the user logged in to our site in case the token expires ?

Hey [@dheesimha](https://github.com/dheesimha)

Web3Auth returns the following in response to the `getUserInfo()` function:

```
{"email":"john@gmail.com","name":"John Dash","profileImage":"https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/a/Ajjjsdsmdjmnm...","aggregateVerifier":"tkey-google-lrc","verifier":"torus","verifierId":"john@gmail.com","typeOfLogin":"google","dappShare":"\<24 words seed phrase\>","idToken":"\<jwtToken issued by Web3Auth\>","oAuthIdToken":"\<jwtToken issued by OAuth Provider\>","oAuthAccessToken":"\<accessToken issued by OAuth Provider\>"}
```

Also, check out [https://web3auth.io/docs/sdk/web/modal/usage#get-users-information](https://web3auth.io/docs/sdk/web/modal/usage#get-users-information).

AccessToken returned here are from OAuth Login Providers. But we do return an idToken.

May I know what the use case you have is?
