How does it handle expired tokens?

The skill outlines patterns for detecting 401 Unauthorized errors and implementing both auto-refresh logic and proactive token renewal based on JWT expiration claims.

Can I use this with React applications?

Absolutely, it includes a standardized React Session Provider pattern and custom hooks for managing authentication state globally across your components.

Does Bknd require server-side session storage?

No, Bknd uses stateless JWT-based sessions. The token itself acts as the session container, which eliminates the need for server-side state and improves scalability.

Does this skill support cookie-based authentication?

Yes, it provides detailed configurations for HttpOnly, Secure, and SameSite cookie settings to ensure high-level XSS and CSRF protection.
