That totally depends of what do you need exactly  If you just need to store and retrieve a token in order to use it in your http requests   i suggest you to simply create a service and use it in your whole project   example of basic integration   import  Injectable  from  angular core    Injectable   export class TokenManager        private tokenKey string    app token        private store content Object            localStorage setItem this tokenKey  JSON stringify content               private retrieve             let storedToken string   localStorage getItem this tokenKey           if  storedToken  throw  no token found           return storedToken             public generateNewToken             let token string           custom token generation          let currentTime number    new Date    getTime     ttl          this store  ttl  currentTime  token               public retrieveToken              let currentTime number    new Date    getTime    token   null          try               let storedToken   JSON parse this retrieve                 if storedToken ttl  lt  currentTime  throw  invalid token found               token   storedToken token                    catch err                console error err                     return token              However if you need to use the local storage more often  by using the stored values in your app views for example   You can use one of the libraries that provides a wrapper of the webstorages like you did with angular2-localstorage   I created some months ago ng2-webstorage that should respond to your needs  It provides two ng2 services and two decorators to sync the webstorage s values and the service component s attributes   import  Component  from   angular core   import  LocalStorageService  LocalStorage  from  ng2-webstorage     Component       selector   foo       template             lt section gt   boundValue   lt  section gt           lt section gt  lt input type  text    ngModel    attribute   gt  lt  section gt           lt section gt  lt button  click   saveValue    gt Save lt  button gt  lt  section gt            export class FooComponent         LocalStorage       boundValue     attribute bound to the localStorage     value       constructor private storage LocalStorageService            this localSt observe  boundValue     triggers the callback each time a new value is set              subscribe  newValue    gt  console log  new value   newValue               saveValue           this storage store  boundValue   this value      store the given value

As a general rule  the token should not be stored on the localStorage neither the sessionStorage  Both places are accessible from JS and the JS should not care about the authentication token    IMHO The token should be stored on a cookie with the HttpOnly and Secure flag as suggested here  https   stormpath com blog where-to-store-your-jwts-cookies-vs-html5-web-storage
