Can't set localStorage

I have made a login system to verify the password with the username. This is my code:

function verify(e) {
  $("#loginError")[0].innerHTML = ("Name and password must have a value");
  $("#loginError")[0].style.display = "none";
  if ($("#loginName")[0].value != "" && $("#loginPassword")[0].value != "") {
    e.classList.add('loading');
    e.disabled = true;
    var json = {
      name: $("#loginName")[0].value,
      password: $("#loginPassword")[0].value
    };
    e.classList.add('disabled');
    $.get('https://cloud.abaanshanid.repl.co/verifyacc', json, function(data, textStatus, jqXHR) {
      console.log(data);
      if (data.includes("name") == true) {
        e.classList.remove('loading');
        e.disabled = false;
        e.classList.remove('disabled');
        console.log("User there");
        window.localStorage.setItem("loginInfo", data);
      } else if (data == "404") {
        $("#loginError")[0].innerHTML = ("This accout doesn't exist!")
        $("#loginError")[0].style.display = "block";
        e.classList.remove('loading');
        e.disabled = false;
        e.classList.remove('disabled');
      } else {
        $("#loginError")[0].innerHTML = ("Wrong password!")
        $("#loginError")[0].style.display = "block";
        e.classList.remove('loading');
        e.disabled = false;
        e.classList.remove('disabled');
      }
    });
  } else {
    $("#loginError")[0].style.display = "block"
  }
}
After the request the server returns the user data if the password is correct, I want to save the user info in localStorage, but I can't save the data for some reason. The browser doesn't show any errors either.

Local storage can only have strings, if you need to set "data" then you have to parse it, try: window.localStorage.setItem("loginInfo", JSON.stringify(data));

You can read it back with JSON.parse(window.localStorage.getItem("loginInfo")).

Hope this helped!
