Hi, I have a Next.js application. I need to set up authentication data in the middleware, but I don't want to store the value in cookies. What are my other options?

You don’t have any other options, given the constraints. The only thing the middleware can access is the request, in which the cookies are the only place where you can store authentication data for the browsers to automatically attach to every request

hey, following on this topic. i'm doing a feature whitelist on per-user basis and need the middleware to block unauthorized page redirects. is it fine to store some data about them on cookies?
