Managing Session Persistence Using Dual JWT Tokens in Vue and SpringBoot
Architecture Overview
To enhance session security and manage user persistence, the architecture employs a pair of JSON Web Tokens (JWT). An access_token handles immediate API requests with a short lifespan (e.g., 30 minutes), while a refresh_token maintains longer-term validity (e.g., 60 minutes) to extend sessions without re-authentication. Wh ...
