# Refresh the session

Use the `refreshSession` method to refresh the user's current auth session. The method returns the updated [Web3AuthResponse](/embedded-wallets/sdk/flutter/usage/connect-to/#response).

This method is available from v8.

If the refresh fails, the SDK clears the local session: Android signs the user out, and iOS clears the stored response. Treat a failed refresh as signed out, and send the user back to sign in.

## Usage

```dart
try {
  final Web3AuthResponse response = await Web3AuthFlutter.refreshSession();
  final String? privateKey = response.privateKey;
} catch (e) {
  // The session couldn't be refreshed and is cleared locally. Ask the user to sign in again.
  log(e.toString());
}

```
