Persistent login in React using refresh token rotation

Frontend developers are tasked with creating a secure and seamless authorization and authentication experience, with a focus on enhancing user experience through persistent logins. Modern web applications often employ refresh tokens to maintain long login sessions, bypassing the need for frequent credential input. The guide explains how refresh tokens and techniques like refresh token rotation and reuse detection can bolster security by invalidating old tokens upon issuing new ones, thus minimizing vulnerabilities. It outlines various storage methods for refresh tokens, such as in-memory, silent authentication, and local storage, with local storage being the recommended way for achieving persistent login while mitigating risks like cross-site scripting attacks. The tutorial walks through integrating these concepts into a React application using Auth0, demonstrating how to configure the app for persistent authentication with refresh token rotation and detailing code implementation for a secure and smooth user experience.
