A bit of API testing first to know it's working:

\IPS\Member::load('some_username', 'name'); //works as expected, I get the user
\IPS\Member::load($member_id, 'member_id'); //works as expected, I get the user

Authenticating a user via the API:
$session = \IPS\Session\Front::i();
$session->setMember($member);
$member = \IPS\Member::load('username', 'name');
$device = \IPS\Member\Device::loadOrCreate($member);
$device->anonymous = false;
$device->updateAfterAuthentication($rememberMe, null);

$member->memberSync('onLogin');
$member->profileSync();

At this point, if I visit the forum, I see that I am logged in as the user so the authentication works.
But, if I do a $member = \IPS\Member::loggedIn(); I get guest, regardless if I do the call right after authentication or after page refresh.

Any idea on what am I missing here?
 

It could be be that $member isn't defined when you pass it to \IPS\Session\Front::setMember();

the member exists at the moment of setting the session

?

What's going to be happening here is that \IPS\Member::$loggedInMember will already be set to a guest by \IPS\Session\Front::read(), since you're overriding that and setting a member after that has ran, you'll also need to reset the cached logged in member after calling `$this->session->setMember($member)`

\IPS\Member::$loggedInMember = NULL;
