Launch Week Day 1: Sessions

Session management is a crucial tool for balancing user experience (UX) with security. It allows users to interact securely with an application within a specific time frame without needing constant re-authentication. WorkOS has introduced free session management through its AuthKit and User Management services, making it easier for developers to integrate this feature into their applications. The Next.js library is the quickest way to integrate sessions, requiring only a few lines of code. Under the hood, Sessions use access tokens and refresh tokens to validate user login status. WorkOS plans to enhance Sessions with real-time changes, inactivity timeouts, client SDKs, and PKCE support in the future.
