Storing tokens in single-page applications - DEV

https://dev.to/bjornlindholmdk/storing-tokens-in-single-page-applications-322k

A suggestion on where to store your secret tokens (for authentication) in single page applications.

TLDR: if your client and server applications are served on the same domain - use HTTPonly cookies with secure, domain and samesite attributes set. JS running on the page will then not have access to the token at all, preventing certain classes of XSS.
