passport js missing credentials

Question

Been working on this for a few hours now, pretty frustrating...

router.post(\'/\',
passport.authenticate(\'local-signup\', function(err, user, info) {
    co         


        

Answer 1

In Router.post:

router.post('/', passport.authenticate('local-signup', {
    successRedirect: '/dashboad',
    failureRedirect: '/',
    badRequestMessage: 'Your message you want to change.', //missing credentials
    failureFlash: true
}, function(req, res, next) {
...

Answer 2

In my case add all the field inside of config works:

passport.use(new LocalStrategy({
  usernameField : 'email',
  passwordField : 'password',
  passReqToCallback : true
}))

Answer 3

if you are using passport local mongoose as a plugin with your user model.

Try this:

passport.use(new LocalStrategy({
  usernameField: 'email'
}, User.authenticate()));

Answer 4

Mine was spelling mistake issue. I hade usernameFeild: 'email',

However, it should be usernameField: 'email',

Answer 5

There could be a mistake in field-type that's why passport.js is not able to recognize the correct field and gives error .

CORRECTION: check in .ejs file if your username and password fields correctly state type. type="password" id="password" name="password"//CORRECTLY SPECIFIED.

What you might have done is : Type:"text" in ejs file and told passport to look for type:"password"

Tip : Check for spelling mistakes in type fields. eg: type:password in ejs & type:Password

Answer 6

I see your req.body contains {password: 'password', email: 'email@email.com'}. email is not what passportjs is looking for, but username is. You can either change your input names on your HTML/JS, or you can change the default parameters passportjs is looking for in req.body. You need to apply these changes where you define your strategy.

passport.use(new LocalStrategy({ // or whatever you want to use
    usernameField: 'email',    // define the parameter in req.body that passport can use as username and password
    passwordField: 'password'
  },
  function(username, password, done) { // depending on your strategy, you might not need this function ...
    // ...
  }
));
