#2: JWT Storage Explained | Local Storage, Session Storage & HTTP-Only Cookies

I’m a fourth-year engineering student documenting my placement preparation journey by sharing what I’m learning through projects and backend development concepts.

📌 In this video:
• What happens after a user logs in
• Where authentication tokens are stored
• Understanding Session Storage
• Understanding Local Storage
• Understanding HTTP-Only Cookies
• Security considerations for each storage mechanism
• Why many applications prefer HTTP-Only Cookies for authentication

This topic is important for understanding how authentication systems work in modern web applications and is commonly discussed in backend development and technical interviews.

In the next video, I’ll be covering Stateful vs Stateless Authentication and comparing Session-Based Authentication with JWT-Based Authentication.

This video reflects my current understanding of the topic as I continue learning. If I’ve explained something incorrectly or missed an important detail, feel free to mention it in the comments. Constructive feedback and corrections are always appreciated.

Thanks for watching and following along on my learning journey! 🚀
