best way to store tokens

[akp2020]

Hi,

what is the best way to store authentication tokens..
Coz browsers are going to stop cookies .. so, where else can we store?
in .env file??
even I stored it in local-storage .. everything is fine but can't run lighthouse..as it flushes storage while generating report..
if storing in a js var then on refresh it will ask for log-in...

Regards,
Anjan

Typically, authentication tokens are stored in Local Storage and passed to the endpoints within the Authentication Header. Those tokens, though technically public, are only secure if the server can verify them.

This is a React/general web dev question and not a React question. It would be better to ask it on Stackoverflow with a React tag

can't run lighthouse..as it flushes storage while generating report what does that mean?

If you mean lighthouse in browser devtools you can uncheck the "Clear storage"

If you mean lighthouce CI you can read their documentation
