        user.comparePassword(req.body.password,(err,isMatch)=>{
            if(err) throw err;
            if(!isMatch) return res.status(400).json({

                if(err) return res.status(400).send(err);
                res.cookie('auth',user.token).send('ok')
            })
        }) 
    })

response

res.cookie('auth',user.token).send('ok')

server gives response ok but the cookie is not stored in the browser

Solution :

Add Postman Interceptor Extension to chrome which allows postman to store cookie in browser and get back useing requests.
