For different page with same key you can not store new value but override. – Suman Bogati Feb 05 '14 at 20:00

Store JSON objects instead. See: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2010892/storing-objects-in-html5-localstorage – Diodeus - James MacFarlane Feb 05 '14 at 20:00

Yup, storing objects is the way to go. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/13702100/localstorage-array-of-objects-handling – sachleen Feb 05 '14 at 20:01

You could use a json object with the data associated to a specific page, e.g.
localStorage.setItem("page1", JSON.stringify({username: "Smith"}));
username = JSON.parse(localStorage.getItem("page1"))["username"];

Local storage is limited to storing key/value pairs. However, you can create a Json object with values for username on different pages, stringify it and store as a key/value pair. check out Storing Objects in HTML5 localStorage
