Solution 1:

You need to stringify the data into sessionStorage. Otherwise it's going to look like this "[object Object]". This is because localStorage and sessionStorage can only store DOMStrings and not objects. The documentation for Storage.setItem

Simple test to verify:

sessionStorage.setItem('token', {'a':1})
let t = sessionStorage.getItem('token')
// "[object Object]".

As Henrik has posted, you will have to set the value to local Storage as,

sessionStorage.setItem('token', JSON.stringify(data))

and use it as,

var token = JSON.parse(sessionStorage.getItem('token'));
