A follow-up session detailing the pros and cons of Basic vs. Digest vs. Form-Based vs. Bearer Token HTTP Authentication would be much appreciated.

Can we use local storage vs the cookies? No expiry😟

[VishalGauba]

So, for searching through the Gmail database for the session token id from the millions of users' ids, we obviously can't use a binary tree sort of thing... would we use an optimized hash table or something else? because the search obviously has to be very fast
