I just want to know, how to read the access token from localstorage.  
I have set my cache location as localstorage  
Now the access token is available in localstorage but I can’t read it.

Hi there @iamarjun715 welcome to the community!

I apologize for the delayed response on this one, but was looking through our backlog and wanted to respond to this. You’ll want to use the `LocalStorageCache`:

> **[LocalStorageCache | @auth0/auth0-spa-js](https://auth0.github.io/auth0-spa-js/classes/LocalStorageCache.html)**
>
> Documentation for @auth0/auth0-spa-js

Hope this helps you or anyone else who may come across this in the future 🔮
