In this meeting, the State Changers discuss the implementation of security measures, specifically regarding the storage of authentication tokens. They debate whether it's appropriate to store an auth token on a table or if there are other better options. One participant suggests using a refresh token pattern, where a short-duration token is used and then refreshed with a new access token as its time is coming up. Another alternative suggested is using a database-based authentication approach, where the auth token is created as a string and stored in the database. This would require creating a custom function for authentication. The participants discuss the trade-offs and advantages of each approach. They also briefly touch on other issues related to user experiences.
