there was an article on here which I found more in depth than this, about why tokens are a good way to do auth.
Im on mobile, but it was ~6 days ago if someone digs it up. However, I guess I don't understand what the actual argument is.
Vue js sets the header to auth bearer and pulls from local storage. I have a token and I verify the id in the payload, the subject which is usetname, expiration and the issuer.
If we assume this goes over SSL/https what is the attack vector. The other article (and this) basically say someone can run a script and get the token however it is pointed out that if soneone can run arbitrary code on your site or users machine, then you already lost anyway.
What am I missing?
