Stop using JSON Web Tokens for user sessions
The lack of logout and XSS are problems, but I ran into a couple apps that completely forgot to expire sessions due to lacking framework support. In nodejs's cookie-session and @google-cloud/connect-firestore sessions never expire. This issue impacts downstream software including, awkwardly enough, Google's Passkey demo apps. There isn't interest in fixing this.
Make sure your app is actually using a JWT framework, not a lesser version, and implements basic security practices.

Node Authentication Questions
Side note: a JWT in an HttpOnly cookie, which is what some people advocate, is still a cookie-based session. Using a library like cookie-session would already give you the ability to have a signature-verified JSON payload, just like using a JWT would.

JWT should not be your default for sessions
Frameworks usually sign cookies by default, or at least offer an option to do so. Some (like Ruby on Rails) can encrypt them for you too. There's nothing really stopping you from storing data in them just like you would a JWT. In fact, frameworks and session libraries often use this cookie storage by default (even in the Node ecosystem, e.g: koa-session, express cookie-session), since an in-memory store can grow to an arbitrary size. Of course, you can also just store a JWT in a cookie, which has the advantage of being standardized in terms of claims and signing algorithms etc.

Saving users’ preferences in SvelteKit
First, let’s read the cookie with hooks. This handle() function runs every time SvelteKit receives a request. We’ll use the cookie package to make cookie-parsing easier.
