...It doesn’t impose specific user model structures or storage strategies but instead offers a unified API driven by “strategies”—small plugins that encapsulate authentication logic for protocols such as local username/password, OAuth, OpenID, SAML, and many others. This design allows developers to plug in only the strategies they need and swap or add new ones without rewriting core application logic, making Passport highly adaptable for diverse authentication requirements. Passport hooks into Express (and similar frameworks) using middleware functions that run during the request lifecycle, simplifying tasks like session management, credential validation, and user serialization.

...It integrates with Express and similar frameworks, letting developers define how clients are authenticated, how authorization decisions are made, and how tokens are issued, all through a clean, extensible API. The module encourages a modular design where individual grant types are plugged in as needed, enabling only relevant flows for a given application, such as supporting third-party app access without exposing user credentials. It also provides helpers for serializing clients and users into session state, signing tokens, and validating requests, reducing the boilerplate developers would otherwise write.
