Hi.

If your vue3 code is not served by the same domain as your django API (i.e. localhost:8000), you may be facing a cross domain issue.

If so, to ensure session cookie is sent in subsequent requests after login, you need to set `withCredentials` attribute to `true` in the request. E.g.

`axios.post('http://localhost:8000/settings/getinfo/', { withCredentials: true })`

You may also enforce this behaviour for every request by setting  
`axios.defaults.withCredentials`

You’ll also have to correcty set CORS settings on django side (see [Be logged in mutiple sites - #13 by antoinehumbert](https://forum.djangoproject.com/t/be-logged-in-mutiple-sites/22501/13))

But, as stated by Ken, checking requests/responses headers from your browser should help in identifying the root cause of the problem
