Hi there,  
I am running into an issue with Weweb not saving the page parameters when redirecting unauthenticated users to the login page.

My issue is that my login page relies on a page parameter to identify which account the user is trying to connect to. Unfortunately I haven’t found a way to execute a workflow or any other trick to actually save the originally requested page parameters to be able to use it on my login page.

I notice that there is a \_source query parameter passed but since it is a full path, I can reliably count on that to isolate specific page parameter.

Did you run into the same issue ? Would love to hear your work arounds ? Can we skip the Xano Auth plugin without too much hassle ? I am all ears, thank you

Hi Sot 👋

You could do authentication directly through REST API instead of using the plugin.  
here’s a discussion about it in the community: [Rest API vs. Xano Plugin](https://community.weweb.io/t/rest-api-vs-xano-plugin/2839)

You could also try to save your required paramenter into a global variable that you could retrieve in your second page.

Let me know if this helps.
