Description
I am getting the infamous "securecookie: the value is too long" error when using Microsoft online provider. It seems that the returned data, even after gzip compression, is coming in at around 3,974 bytes and failing to be set.
We need a new mechanism, perhaps using web storage or splitting the cookie into parts?

Research direction
Begin with the Microsoft online provider and its securecookie handling, then reproduce the failure with returned data around 3,974 bytes. Compare the compressed value with the cookie size limit and determine which storage or cookie-splitting approach is appropriate. Done means Microsoft online authentication can persist the returned data without the “value is too long” error.
