Why is there no refreshToken in the cache even after setting forceRefresh: true (acquireTokenSilent)

Question

After setting the following parameters, I get the error message "No refresh token found in the cache. Please sign-in."

const response = await msalClient.acquireTokenSilent({
scopes: [
"user.read",
"calendars.readwrite",
"mailboxsettings.read",
"offline_access",
],
forceRefresh: true,
redirectUri,
account,
});

Why is there no refreshToken in the cache even after setting forceRefresh: true

Hello @Justin Ar-Rasheed , forceRefresh to true will skip cached tokens. Set it to false to attempt using a valid cached token. If none is found and the user is signed in acquireTokenSilent will attempt to retrieve a new set of tokens.
