Nah, cookies + JS is a solid authentication combo. But just JS without cookies is kinda vulnerable. Wouldnt want Paypal or taxes being purely Javascript authenticated.

Heres a fun article

The article is paywalled. And if someone is incapable of securing their JS app, that's on them. Cookies won't help.
