feat: store sensitive auth utilities like token in cookies #97
Description
Problem Statement / User Need
Currently, the frontend system stores tokens and auth utilities in the localStorage, which is considered to be the least secure approach
Proposed Solution
Store auth utilities like a token and user essential info in cookies instead
Roadmap Phase
- — Set up client-server to support cookies
- — change the client's auth system to use cookies instead
Alternatives Considered
The existing localStorage auth-based implementation or use in-memory caching for the token, but it leads to over-fetching because the user loses auth whenever the page reloads
