Location to save api token?

I'm not sure which is gonna be the best location to save API key which users generating by providing email address and password, right now I'm finding temporary direction on their machine and saving it there.

But I'm not sure if it is the best approach.

Notes:

API key has to be regenerated every 6 or 12 hours (depends).

I can't save it in the cache memory, because API endpoint which returning API key for another endpoint (which requires email and password) is rate-limited by 5 requests a day.

You could use local storage.

You have to create an express-session: https://www.npmjs.com/package/express-sessions

Store Session:

let session = require("express-session");

app.use(session({
    secret: "secret",
    resave: false,
    saveUninitialized: true,
    cookie: {secure: true,
        httpOnly: true,
        maxAge: 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24
    }
}));

Use:

router.route("/login")
    .post(function(req, res) {

        req.session.Auth = req.body.user // => user values?
    })
