I have an authentication cookie that gets set after I hit a login screen in my local environment. That cookie has been set to be persistent and has been given a timeout peri
The solution I found was to make it so that new instances of .NET Core MVC would not open up in a brand new window, but an existing one. I changed one setting
1)Tools menu 2)Options... 3)Debugging > General 4)Uncheck "Enable JavaScript debugging for ASP.NET"
And when I run the app with F5 an instance fires up in an existing instance of chrome and I can reuse the cookies that are already in existence. With that box checked it always opens into a new instance of chrome and cookies are not present.
