[SOLVED] Supabase reset password error: "Auth Session Missing"

Supabase reset password error: "Auth Session Missing"

The following function fails with error "Auth Session Missing"

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

After getting the reset password link on my mail i redirect the user to '/reset' link. The link i get look like this

https://www.example.com/reset#access_token=eyJhbGciOiJIUzI1NiIsImtpZCI6Ik5rK1VQTmlRYk9RZ2xXMUUiLCJ0eXAiOiJKV1QifQ.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.AcLI2nO1BbCqCwAgrQ8flIjkvC2kRtKcujfXpqRFVG0&expires_in=3600&refresh_token=rUB74qIa-G3GNh6mpJxWdg&token_type=bearer&type=recovery

But on submitting the new password i get the error.

I'm using "@supabase/auth-helpers-nextjs" for creating client.

Solution

It seems that certain providers automatically pre-load the URLs in the email for faster page loading. However, since Supabase reset links are designed for one-time use, this preloading action causes the URLs to expire prematurely, resulting in errors when users attempt to reset their passwords.

Possible solution could be adding captcha verification or just a button that redirects to the url given by supabase
