A Node.js starter application demonstrating user registration, login, and access control using Express, Passport, MongoDB/Mongoose, EJS, and Bootstrap. It includes password hashing with bcryptjs, flash messages, and a protected dashboard route.

Use cases

• add login and registration to a node app
• learn passport local authentication
• starter template for express auth with mongodb
• implement protected routes and dashboards
• hash user passwords with bcrypt
• build session-based authentication in express

When to choose

• you want a simple, well-known example of Express + Passport authentication
• you are learning Node.js auth flows with MongoDB
• you need a quick boilerplate for login/registration with EJS views

When to avoid

• you need production-grade auth with OAuth, MFA, or JWT
• you use a SQL database or a frontend SPA framework
• you require a maintained library with a license and security audits
