I’m logging in the user using graphql, but I’m not sure why the authentication says false eventhough the tokens are properly stored.

Also, how can I load the “user” data?

Hi @visualdevs 👋

Sorry I didn’t see your question earlier!

What steps did you include in your login workflow?

Did you go through [this process](https://academy.weweb.io/scale-your-web-app/token-based-auth/):

1. API request to get authentication token (looks like you did)
2. `Store token` action to store the token (looks like you did as well)
3. `Fetch user` action to get the user record from our db (maybe that’s what you’re missing?)

I was missing the step 3, thank you so much!
