The [documentation in okta-auth-js mentions that handleLoginRedirect may be deprecated](https://github.com/okta/okta-auth-js#handleloginredirecttokens-originaluri) in a future version.

> ⚠ Deprecated, this method could be removed in next major release, use [sdk.handleRedirect](https://github.com/okta/okta-auth-js#handleredirectoriginaluri) instead.

The okta sign in widget documentation has an recommendation for SPAs to use `showSignIn` with the example that uses `handleLoginRedirect` in the promise-then, but not `handleRedirect`.

```auto
oktaSignIn.showSignIn({
  // Assumes there is an empty element on the page with an id of ‘osw-container’
  el: ‘#osw-container’,
}).then(response => {
  oktaSignIn.authClient.handleLoginRedirect(res.tokens);
}).catch(function(error) {
  // This function is invoked with errors the widget cannot recover from:
  // Known errors: CONFIG_ERROR, UNSUPPORTED_BROWSER_ERROR
  console.log('login error', error);
});

```

I’d like to know what the alternative function, method call or approach if handleLoginRedirect is deprecated. `handleLogin` does not accept token parameters so using it in the same way may not be possible.
