Alternative way to store an auth token in an Angular app

I am currently implementing an angular application where I am getting an Authentication token from backend. After login I am storing that token in local storage of the browser. Is there any other way to store the Auth token. I am trying avoid local storage or session storage or cookie.

Please suggest if there is any solution. Also, I am getting an refresh token after a certain point of time of login(approx 20 mint).

There are limited options. You need a storage which does not get destroyed after a full page reload. So localstorage or session storage is totally fine to store a token because they normally expire at some point. Cookies would also be an option.

Another alternative I know about would be the index db of the Browser:

https://www.npmjs.com/package/ngx-indexed-db

This is a lightweight database available in all modern Browsers.
