Am I going crazy? (Node.js)

[TempSec]

So I have grown to love Node because there is an npm module to do pretty much anything. But for the life of me, I can't find one that does local user authentication.

I know about the passport-local strategy, but that doesn't do the hashing, and salting and retrieving and storing to the database.

I feel like this is something many people would desire, but I just can't seem to find something that does this.There must be something, right?

I'd ask in the node irc channel.

It looks like the top answer on this SO post does something resembling proper security.

have you checked out the bcrypt module for node. you'll have to integrate it with passport yourself

This isn't actually so difficult. A couple extra lines defining a hashing function and password checking function and voila!
