## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: stable
- function: auth, orm
- domain: web-development, backend, security, databases
- platform: -
