Hi @qburst-arjunsreedhar,
As per testing, we are not able to reproduce the issue with the latest pwa local instance and also https://venia.magento.com/.

Hey @RaghavendraTirumalasetti,

I was able to fix this issue by calling the handleSubmit function returned by the useSignIn talon but if I do not use this method and directly insert the token to localStorage this issue occurs.
