Hello Everyone,

Hi Zwe Mann Oo,

Limitations & considerations to use local storage:

  • It is not secure, can be accessed by browser developer tools, so don't use it to store sensitive data.
  • It can be cleared by the user when he/she clears all browser history
  • It can only store string data
  • It is synchronous. ...
  • It can't be used by web workers 
  • It still limits the size of data you can store (~5MB across all major browsers)
  • Any JavaScript code on your page can access local storage: it has no data protection whatsoever

Regards,

Daniel
