Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently the login is persisted by writing it to a context during login. The token is also saved to local storage, if the user selects "remember me" during login. If you do not select "remember me" during login, any navigation outside of the website, will clear the context and the user is logged out again. The token appears to also be stored indefinitely and never be invalidated.
Describe the solution you'd like
Find and implement a solution that will properly persist the login for the user using the context or in another way, both if "remember me" is checked and also if it is not checked. If local storage is deemed not viable or too insecure for this, it can be replaced. Additionally, the approach should deal with the problem of non-expiring tokens.
Describe alternatives you've considered
One possible solution could involve cookies as storage solution and refresh tokens to deal with the problem of "old" tokens.
