    The majority of the codebases I've worked on over the years have always favoured using JSON web-tokens (JWT) or Authentication-as-a-Service platforms (Auth0, Okta etc) for authentication logic. These are indeed excellent choices! however, on smaller projects I find these to always seem to be overkill. Recently I started working on a chrome extension that performs social sign-in using twitter OAuth API and decided to use passport.js to outsource some of the heavy lifting involved in setting up authentication. Below I walk through the benefits and step-by-step guide in getting started with passport.js for authentication
