### Steps to reproduce

- Instantiate `@web3auth/core`
- Configure `@web3auth/torus-evm-adapter`
- Initialize Web3Auth
  - `await web3auth.init()`

- Log in using Torus Google SSO
  - `await web3auth.connectTo(WALLET_ADAPTERS.TORUS_EVM)`

- Reload the page
  - Now, it does all initialization steps again.

### Expected behavior

`await web3auth.init()` simply initializes web3auth and torus SSO session is preserved.

### Current behavior

`await web3auth.init()` displays this popup asking me to **login again**.

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

You can use the session to persist the web3auth state.  
`const [web3auth, setWeb3auth] = useState()`
