Aren't there websites you use less than once a week?

If one of those is using a JWT for auth in localStorage (something which is extremely common) you'd need to login every time you visit such site.




Yes, and that's fine with me. Being on an iPhone, I use the built-in cloud-backed password manager which makes generating and entering credentials near-effortless. Furthermore, by not leaving long-lived tokens in my browser's storage, I'm less vulnerable to exploits that may exfiltrate that data.
