Research direction

Start with the README section that demonstrates email/password sign-in and obtaining a JWT. Verify how refresh tokens are handled for Google Identity Platform, then document whether refreshing is supported and how users should proceed. Done means the README answers the question clearly, including any required limitation or alternative.

Description

Hi there, thank you for this package. We are using Google Identity Platform to sign our users into our application via the email/password provider. While the Readme demonstrates how to sign a user in and get the JWT, I don't see any reference on how to refresh the token? Is this at all possible?
