Storing access token with Expo web

I've recently decided to try and make a universal app with expo supporting ios, android and web altogether. I knew that there would be many hick ups along the way.. but I found the biggest problem from the start. I can see that there are few options as where to store the access token for apps such as secure store or asyncStorage, I just simply can't find a way to work with cookies or any client side store to put in the access-token.

As my app should have the stay logged in feature essentially, this will be a critical problem for the web client.

Does anybody know a good workaround this matter, or is there a way to keep the users logged in from the server side using the device / ip detail..?

Please enlighten me guys!

For andoid and ios you should use ExpoSecure Storage. For web I currently can only rely on the normal storage, but this seems not to be secure. One option would be to safe it in a cookie but thats something i dont realy like.

The web support is available in asyncStorage since v1.9.0.

So you can use it in recent versions of asyncStorage.

I've managed to do this with AsyncStorage.

import AsyncStorage from '@react-native-community/async-storage';

/// Then inside your component make an asynchronous set
await AsyncStorage.setItem(['tokenName', tokenValue]);
