Most of the resources on Internet suggest to store JWT in httpOnly cookies. But I am confused, if we store the JWT in httpOnly cookies how can we perform AJAX api calls (that require authorization) using fetch or axios, since we cannot read httpOnly cookies. So, the only option is to store them in non-httpOnly cookies which are almost at the same level if we consider XSS. Am I right?
