Ruby Sinatra Sessions Across Windows

Question

I have a quick question about using sessions across different windows. I'm currently trying to create a login screen for a web app that I'm creating and I was wondering if this flow will work by enabling sessions:

Window A: User inputs basic account information and is stored inside sessions
A new popup Window B is open and user is authenticated via Google oauth. I store the token session[:credentials] = generated_credentials. User closes Window B.
Window A has access to session[:credentials]

I guess my question here is if step 3 is valid because I'm trying to essentially listen for a new cookie

Thank you for your help!

Yes! This will work. I guess sinatra has some listener that always updates the session even if it was updated from a child window.
