Hi, I am developing a web application using C# and javaScript. I need to save user date in the browser so that the user once login need not to login on a new tab in same browser. But if he close the browser the data should be cleared.

Can anyone please give me a solution for this?

What I have tried:

I searched online and could not found a solution.

I tried using document.cookie but they are not cleared when browser is closed. The same problem is with localStorage.

I tried sessionStorage but it is cleared when the tab is closed.

No. There's no solid way of a server detecting if the client has closed their browser. It's just the nature of web development's asynchronous pattern.

if you really wanted to implement this you can try the following solutions,

How to end user session when browser closed[^]

$(window).on('beforeunload', function(e) {
return "You will now be logged out,";
});

$(window).on('unload', function(e) {
document.cookie = 'hodan_current_cookie=; expires=Fri, 3 Aug 2012 20:47:11 UTC; path=/'
});

Solution 3

There is currently no solution to this. People are used to either having a universal login that remembers them, or having to log in with each tab, that's just how the internet works.
