Open a new popup window for login credentials instead of a redirect for OIDC React SPA application
I have a react SPA application in which I'm using OKTA OpenID connect for authentication. I'm using "@okta/okta-react" for react hooks, Instead of opening login screen in the same window and redirecting back and forth I want to open a new browser window (not new tab) to enter the login details. Is it possible to achieve this functionality? If yes how can I achieve this?
Thanks.
Hello @iliyazs.03457 (Customer) Thank you for reacting out to our Community!
I have done some research on this matter and I was unable to find a method to achieve this. You can setup the application to open in a separate tab, but as far as I am aware not new tab.
However you can add a Feature Request on our Idea section, for a chance that this functionality to be added in the future.

Hi,
Have you looked at getWithPopup function - if this fulfills your requirement. This function is in the core auth-js on which the okta-react is built, so there should be possiblility to call this for token renewal.
Thanks

I was looking for something similar functionality to 'loginWithPopup' in Auth0.
