Description

I implemented Keep Me Signed In according to Microsoft doc: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory-b2c/session-behavior?pivots=b2c-custom-policy#enable-keep-me-signed-in-kmsi. I have Suppressed SingleSignOn in my custom Azure AD B2C policy.
I also have Angular SPA,it uses msal library. But it logs me out after 24 hours.
When I change scope to Tenant , it works okay.

Also I noticed that sso cookie does not exist for Suppressed scope.

Reproduction Steps

1. Set SingleSignOn Scope="Suppressed" in Azure AD B2C Signup_Signin custom policy;
2. Enable 'Remember Me' in Azure AD B2C custom policy;
3. Implement authorization in Angular App using msal.js with code provieded;
4. Select 'Remember Me' during Sign In.

I asked Azure Microsoft Suuport. They said that if you are using SingleSignOn Scope='Suppressed' it will not modify or generate an SSO cookie, this is by design as it will not use one in this situation as it is intended to prompt for authentication when switching journeys https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/active-directory-b2c/relyingparty#singlesignon.
