...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.

passport-local is a Passport strategy module for Node.js that enables user authentication using traditional username and password credentials, making it ideal for web applications that require simple, form-based login systems. It plugs directly into the Passport middleware ecosystem and lets developers define precisely how users are looked up and verified against stored credentials, which can be adapted to any database or user store. Instead of managing authentication logic manually in every route, passport-local centralizes the process through a strategy interface where you provide a function to find and validate the user. ...
