Where Are WordPress nonces Stored?

Question

I was trying to figure out where does WordPress store all the nonces. But wasn\'t able to find a clue. I first checked the database but wasn\'t able to find any table named some

Answer 1

Nonces are not stored directly anywhere, they are created using the function wp_create_nonce and validated using the wp_verify_nonce.

Those functions in turn use wp_hash to hash together a lifespan, a custom string, the user_id and the session token stored in wp_usermeta with the key session_tokens.
