I also was facing same problem, but @PVThomas gives me solution, as in here in Answers. My problem was with findById() method in deserialize(). I was using findOne() in findById() and then I replaced it with find() and now req.isAuthenticated() is working fine. My app wasn't saving req.session.passport.user, It was returning undefined and then after replacement of findOne() with find() it's saving user id in req.session.passport.user.
