  • Passport

    Simple, unobtrusive authentication for Node.js.

  • Hi all. As a side project I've built a Node app and deployed it to Heroku. I just added some basic authentication to the app, using Passport. Currently users can login with only a username and password that they generate when creating a new user. But Passport also gives me the ability to can allow users to sign in with other accounts, e.g. Google, Facebook, etc. Other than convenience to my users, what benefits would allowing these logins afford me? Specifically, would there be any monetization benefits to me?
