A Mongoose plugin that simplifies building username and password login with Passport for Node.js applications. It adds username, hash, and salt fields to a User schema and provides authenticate, serializeUser, and deserializeUser methods.

Use cases

• add username and password login to a mongoose user model
• integrate passport local strategy with mongodb
• hash and salt user passwords in node.js
• set up session serialization for passport users
• build a simple auth system for an express app

When to choose

• you use Mongoose with MongoDB and Passport for authentication
• you want ready-made password hashing and salt handling
• you need quick serialize/deserialize helpers for passport sessions

When to avoid

• you don't use Mongoose or MongoDB
• you need OAuth, SAML, or other non-local auth strategies
• you use a different ORM like Prisma or Sequelize
