Is it safe to use sessionStorage?

Should you use sessionStorage?

Session storage is a popular choice when it comes to storing data on a browser. It enables developers to save and retrieve different values. Unlike local storage, session storage only keeps data for a particular session. The data is cleared once the user closes the browser window.

Should I use cookies or sessionStorage?

If we want it on the server, then we use cookies, and the sessionStorage is used when we want to destroy the data whenever that specific tab gets closed or the season is closed by the user. There are also a few security issues related to the Web Storage objects, but they are considered more secure than the cookies.

Is Webstorage secure?

Never store sensitive data using Web Storage: Web Storage is not secure storage. It is not “more secure” than cookies because it isn't transmitted over the wire. It is not encrypted. There is no Secure or HTTP only flag so this is not a place to keep session or other security tokens.

Is sessionStorage better than localStorage?

The difference between sessionStorage and localStorage is that localStorage data does not expire, whereas sessionStorage data is cleared when the page session ends. A unique page session gets created once a document is loaded in a browser tab. Page sessions are valid for only one tab at a time.
