Chrome opens PWA automatically when opening the site

I have a web application that can be installed as PWA. Once installed the problem appears on Android devices with Chrome.

If a user is logged out the application will redirect to an authentication service that is hosted on a separate server. Once a user has logged in the application redirect him to main page of app. PWA is opened automatically at this point. I don't want this.

Does anybody know a way to prevent automatically opening PWA when a user open a site in browser? It was noticed on Android 8.0 with Google Chrome 74.0.3729.157.

Also if an authentication page is rendered inside iframe PWA is not opened automatically.

Finally I get it.

PWA is installed as WebAPK so Android open my application automatically when an auth server returns redirect to my application https://developers.google.com/web/fundamentals/integration/webapks.

A way exists to prevent that by defining a scope parameter in manifest.json. But it is not my case because all my application is in the root.

Finally I use iframe to render an auth page instead of redirection to auth service directly.
