Is there a walkthrough tutorial for setting up a simple app with passport local-strategy authentication?
Here you will find an incredibly detailed, step by step tutorial, form scotch.io. The way they organized the code, the comments and the flow of the tutorial was really helpful for me, not only in getting the code to work, but actually getting comfortable around it so I could build my project using their tutorial as a boilerplate
Checkout this article by Danial Authentication Using PassportJS. It isn't that brief but I found it useful.
I created a github repo to illustrate setup passport with local, facabook, google, twitter and github login on express,mongoose,jade stack. Here is the link to repo. I hope you find it useful
There's a npm module called Lockit that handles all local authentication gracefully, plus sends emails etc. Less code if you're only looking to do local auth
