    Passport needs to be initialized as middleware as well. And it requires a session middleware for storing state and user data. The most common session middleware is express-session.

    You need to pick a session store for your cookies. By default, I think express-session uses an in-memory store which means sessions are reset every time the server restarts. Redis is what I'd generally recommend for managing session stores, but setting up Redis is ANOTHER configuration update. There are a bunch of other options, too, such as using a Mongo database as a session store.

  • JSON web tokens are NOT meant for authenticating the same user repeatedly: Use session tokens instead
    1 project | dev.to | 10 Apr 2021
    This problem can be solved by using a "session store" library such as connect-redis (see express-session's documentation for the list of session store libraries for Express.js). The idea is to keep session tokens in a dedicated database, and each time the user makes an HTTP request with their session token, the server receiving the request will consult this database to learn whether the request comes from the authenticated user or not. Performance suffers consequently, as retrieving data from a database always takes some time.
