![]() ![]() Let's start with the basics: local storage is a new feature of HTML5 that basically allows you (a web developer) to store any information you want in your user's browser using JavaScript.

Let's have a heart-to-heart and talk about local storage and why you should stop using it to store session data. Things are getting completely out of hand.Īlmost every day I stumble across a new website storing sensitive user information in local storage and it bothers me to know that so many developers are opening themselves up to catastrophic security issues by doing so. I don't know what it is, exactly, that drives so many developers to store session information in local storage, but whatever the reason: the practice needs to die out.
