Storing form state server-side is incredibly common, and users _want_ that functionality in most cases. One of the most common sign-up frustrations is entering everything into a sign-up form, clicking submit and having some or all of that information cleared and having to re-type it.
There's no privacy concerns about storing form data temporarily to regurgitate it on reload, and it _should_ be a best practice.
- xboxnolifes 4y agoIs your example not usually solved with local storage, not server storage?
- uoaei 4y ago> There's no privacy concerns about storing form data temporarily to regurgitate it on reload This is obviously wrong, because it doesn't actually address privacy concerns at all. "Storing form data temporarily" says nothing about what other services/programs/people can access that data while it is stored. And anyway, sibling comment has a very good point about local storage vs server storage.
