Non-technical person looking for your help
Next, use something like https://www.npmjs.com/package/passport, this is authentication middleware, and it works similarly for different authentication providers. Carefully read the documentation. OAuth is complicated, but that's because it solves a complicated problem

Should I use Passport Js for user authentication?
Passport is outdated and the project has been more or less on a stand-still for years now. As of currently, there are more than 320 open issues and very few have been resolved within the last months. I'd highly advice you not to use Passport for your applications in 2023. You've received some great alternatives by others in the comments here.

req.logout() not working on passport.js even after adding callback?
Research - there's github and stackoverflow documentation saying this is part of passport.js 0.6.0 that can be resolved by turning logout into a callback function (I was not the first person to encounter this error).

Auth.js Authentication for the Web
I went down the rabbithole of using next-auth (now authjs) for a recent project. Having used Passport.js [1] for Oauth2 the last time I was doing node.js ~3 years ago, I found this library to have many footguns as comments/answers on SO and Github.
Seems like many people are trying to shoehorn their codebase [2] (!!) to make it work with the way the library manages sign-in flow, redirects, cookies, logout, etc. [3]
These were solved problems in the MEAN stack era with middlewares, but now that Next.js/react is the trend, people are doing everything they can to make it work - from relaxing security configs, to stashing things in the JWT just so some callback can get an additional piece of data.

Authentication using JSON Web Tokens.
NOTE: Never store sensitive information about a client in the payload as the JWT is just encoded and not encrypted. You can paste the JWT I gave as an example above in this cool site which basically allows you to see in decoded. JSON Web Tokens - jwt.io

Building Llama as a Service (LaaS)
Although they did not make it into production, I experimented with the RabbitMQ message broker, Python (Django, Flask), Kubernetes + minikube, JWT, and NGINX. This was a hobby project, but I intended to learn about microservices along the way.

Is JWT really a good fit for authentication?
JWT token is not encrypted, it's just base64UrlEncoded. So, don't put any sensitive information in payload. Meaning, if for some reason an access token is stolen, an attacker will be able to decode it and see information in payload.Check it here.
