Description

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open http://localhost:3000/sign-in and sign in
2. Open a second tab and go to http://localhost:3000/dashboard/target
3. Sign out on the first tab (you will get redirected to http://localhost:3000/sign-in)
4. Switch to the second tab (you will get auto-redirected to http://localhost:3000/sign-in?redirect_url=http%3A%2F%2Flocalhost%3A3000%2Fdashboard%2Ftarget)
5. Sign in on the first tab
6. Refresh the second tab (you will get redirected to http://localhost:3000/)

Expected behavior:

The user should have been redirected to http://localhost:3000/dashboard/target on step 6.

Actual behavior:

The user was redirected to http://localhost:3000/ on step 6.
