Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/better-auth/better-auth/issues/1760

Hello!

When a session is active, the authentication status is not validated when the browser tab is focused. Instead, it only updates when the page is refreshed or when navigating to another page.

Is there an equivalent to NextAuth's refetchOnWindowFocus that automatically re-fetches the session when the window is focused?

We would greatly appreciate your help!
