Authenticate

The authenticate method wraps the authenticate OAuth API endpoint which validates the OAuth token passed in.

If this method succeeds, the user will be logged in, granted an active session, and the session data will be persisted on device.

You can listen for successful login events anywhere in the codebase with the stytch.session.onChange() method or useStytchSession hook.
