When to use session storage

Session storage can be used to check for the user’s authentication state. Users who are logged in can be redirected to the homepage. Unregistered users, on the other hand, are directed to the authentication page.

Session storage also helps prevent certain actions. For instance, it helps bar some users from making certain purchases. Developers can also use session storage to improve data safety. Once the user closes the browser tab, all their data is cleared. This makes it difficult for third parties to gain access.
