Storing sensitive data like access tokens in local storage is a big no-no! Here's why:
1️⃣ Local storage is vulnerable to XSS attacks.
2️⃣ Tokens in local storage can be easily accessed by JavaScript, increasing the risk of compromise.
🔒 The Solution?
Store all tokens and sensitive data in HTTP-only cookies. Here's why it's better:
- Cookies are secure and inaccessible to JavaScript.
- They support automatic handling of token refreshing.
- Signed cookies ensure data integrity.
What I’m Building 🚀
I’m working on creating a secure Node.js + React app that:
✅ Never store sensitive data in local storage.
✅ Is scalable for big systems.
✅ Includes an easy-to-follow tutorial with a GitHub repo link!
