# Interact with localStorage from the Console

Since you can run JavaScript in the Console, and since the Console has access to the page's JavaScript contexts, it's possible to interact with localStorage from the Console.

1. Use the JavaScript contexts menu to change the JavaScript context of the Console if you want to access the localStorage key-value pairs of a domain other than the page you're on.

2. Run your localStorage expressions in the Console, the same as you would in your JavaScript.
