Description
_This issue has been moved from [a ticket on Developer Community](https://developercommunity.visualstudio.com/t/Blazor-WebAssembly-MSAL-auth-returns-IsA/11098918)._

I’m currently facing an issue with MSAL authentication in a Blazor WebAssembly application after upgrading the packages from 10.0.7 to 10.0.8.
Everything was working correctly in 10.0.7 with the same configuration. However, after the upgrade:
User.Identity.IsAuthenticated is always returning false
RemoteUserAccount is coming through as null
The application does not recognize the user as authenticated
No configuration changes were made during the upgrade, which makes this behavior particularly confusing.
Has anyone encountered a similar issue or identified any changes in authentication behavior between these versions that could explain this?
