Hi, I’m wondering where I should store authentication tokens for my app. Should I just save them to a local file ([https://www.fusetools.com/docs/fuse/filesystem/filesystemmodule](https://www.fusetools.com/docs/fuse/filesystem/filesystemmodule)) or is there some better way to handle such things? I believe I’ve read in another thread that cookies are not persisted automatically ([https://www.fusetools.com/community/forums/bug\_reports/fetch\_always\_follows\_redirects\_but\_does\_not\_persis?page=1&highlight=2d307f2f-e32b-487e-8753-7e87a33435b9#post-2d307f2f-e32b-487e-8753-7e87a33435b9](https://www.fusetools.com/community/forums/bug_reports/fetch_always_follows_redirects_but_does_not_persis?page=1&highlight=2d307f2f-e32b-487e-8753-7e87a33435b9#post-2d307f2f-e32b-487e-8753-7e87a33435b9)) so I thought I’d check in to see if anything had changed since then.

Thanks,

Vlad

Yes, you should use either [FileSystem](https://www.fusetools.com/docs/fuse/filesystem/filesystemmodule) or if you fancy, [NSUserDefaults/SharedPreferences](https://github.com/bolav/fuse-usersettings).
