So, let me ask you, where exactly is a token stored? Is it kept in some sort of digital wallet or perhaps on a blockchain? And if so, how secure is this storage method? I'm sure many people are curious about the safety and accessibility of their tokens, so it would be great to get a clear understanding of the storage process. Can you provide some insight into how tokens are typically kept secure and accessible for users?

The Web Storage API, for instance, allows applications to store data in the user's browser in the form of key-value pairs. This data persists even after the browser is closed and reopened.

IndexedDB, on the other hand, is a more sophisticated database system that provides a more flexible and powerful way to store structured data. It is particularly useful for storing large amounts of data or data that needs to be queried frequently.

In addition to using dedicated APIs, applications can also choose to store tokens in memory or in cookies. Storing tokens in memory is a fast and convenient option, but it is not persistent and will be lost if the page is refreshed or closed.

Cookies, on the other hand, are a type of persistent storage that can be used to store small amounts of data on the user's device. However, cookies are not as secure as dedicated APIs and can be vulnerable to certain types of attacks.
