::: note
Previously in Auth0, the samesite
cookie attribute options were true
, false
, strict
or lax
. If you didn't set the attribute manually, Auth0 would use the default value of false
.
Effective February 2020, Google Chrome v80 will change the way it handles cookies. To that end, Auth0 plans on implementing the following changes to how it handles cookies:
- Cookies without the
samesite
attribute set will be set tolax
- Cookies with
sameSite=none
must be secured, otherwise they cannot be saved in the browser's cookie jar
The goal of these changes are to improve security and help mitigate CSRF attacks. :::
