=== Need for refresh tokens

Does it make sense to use a refresh token in a modern single page application (SPA)? As we have seen in the section
|
||||
about storing tokens there are two option: web storage or a cookie which mean a refresh token is right beside an
|
||||
access token, so if the access token is leaked changes are the refresh token will also be compromised. Most of the time

As stated above using an access token and a separate refresh token gives some leverage for the server not to check

the access token over and over. Only perform the check when the user needs a new access token.

It is certainly possible to only use an access token. At the server you store the exact same information you would
|
||||
store for a refresh token, see previous paragraph. This way you need to check the token each time but this might
|
||||
be suitable depending on the application. In the case the refresh tokens are stored for validation it is important to protect these tokens as well (at least
|
||||
use a hash function to store them in your database).
