Need to clear local storage on browser tab closed not on refresh. I tried
window.onbeforeunload = function (e) {
localStorage.clear();
};
it clears the localstorage when browser refresh happens. I want to force the user to login when the user close browser tab.

Reset to default 4Refreshing and closing a tab/window is the same event as far as the browsers are concerned.
Best would be to use session storage rather than local storage as session would be active until the tab/window is closed and not refreshed and you aren't saving persistent data.
Have a look here
Use this code.
window.onload = window.localStorage.clear();
