You could use a custom authentication callback as described in the last paragraph there http://passportjs.org/guide/authenticate/.

app.post('/login', function(req, res, next) {

    if (err) { return next(err); }
    // Redirect if it fails
    if (!user) { return res.redirect('/login'); }
    req.logIn(user, function(err) {
      if (err) { return next(err); }
      // Redirect if it succeeds
      return res.redirect('/users/' + user.username);
    });
  })(req, res, next);
});
