Hai,
I read about ionic localstorage module lately, and with that, I can store my user credentials, so that next time I open my app I don’t want to type in my user credentials again and again.
But after some reading, I come to know that local storage needs some sort of locking mechanism enabled in the phone beforehand.
say a password lock or something
can I use some storage mechanism in my device so that i can store user credentials even thouigh i dont have a lock in my phone.
thank you
First, are you talking about localStorage or Ionic Storage, as there’s a big difference?
Second, where did you read that it requires a lock?
And storing credentials in a local storage is a security risk.
Better use session tokens etc.
How to use session tokens?
I mean i need the user credentials to be stored on my next visit to the app. session i believe will clear every details after some time.
I am using localstorage.
i tried to save the user login credentials in ionic storage but that was of no use when i open the app yet again. it clears every data and then i started from the very first with the login part
I am really sorry, its not local storage but secure storage.
