Simple, unobtrusive authentication for Node.js.

[](http://passportjs.org) # Passport Passport is [Express](http://expressjs.com/)-compatible authentication middleware for [Node.js](http://nodejs.org/). Passport's sole purpose is to authenticate requests, which it does through an extensible set of plugins known as _strategies_. Passport does not mount routes or assume any particular database schema, which maximizes flexibility and allows application-level decisions to be made by the developer. The API is simple: you provide Passport a request to authenticate, and Passport provides hooks for controlling what occurs when authentication succeeds or fails. --- <div align="center"> ^Sponsors <br> <!-- Auth0 --> <div> <a href="https://auth0.com/"> <picture> <source srcset="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jaredhanson/passport/master/sponsors/auth0.png" media="(prefers-color-scheme: light)"> <source srcset="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jaredhanson/passport/master/sponsors/auth0-dark.png" media="(prefers-color-scheme: dark)"> <img src="https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jaredhanson/passport/master/sponsors/auth0.svg" width="275"> </picture> <p> <b>Simple Authentication</b> <br> Make login our problem.
