javascript - Node.js/Express Password Protected Page

Question

I'm new to node.js/express!

In my case I have a chat site and a chat admin site. When I go in _____:3000/admin, it asks for a password in a form. Now how would I check if the password is the correct password, not in the client's java-script? I'm trying to stay away from php, because its too confusing... How would I do that and then send a html file which can not be accessed by the user?

This is not like the other questions because I DON'T want/need 'usernames'

Answer 1

You can use Passport module for local authentication.Keep a database of users with hashed passwords, using bcrypt module.
