title: Next Auth Credentials Provider JWT / Session callback
body: <p>I am having some difficulties passing my token to the session callback. My end goal is to send the logged-in users data to the client-side. Originally I was only sending back the users email, but now I would like to have the user's username and name sent along with the email. By following the docs, we have to pass the JWT and Session callback in order for us devs to have access to more data in a token. Currently, in my JWT callback, I am able to log the users data, great. Yet, when I try to log the data in the Session callback, I am getting an empty {}. Any tips are greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.</p>
