Answer 1

Have you tried this?

https://www.npmjs.com/package/passport-local-authenticate

var auth = require('passport-local-authenticate');

auth.hash('password', function(err, hashed) {
  console.log(hashed.hash); // Hashed password
  console.log(hashed.salt); // Salt
});

auth.hash('password', function(err, hashed) {
  auth.verify('password', hashed, function(err, verified) {
    console.log(verified); // True, passwords match
  ));
});

auth.hash('password', function(err, hashed) {
  auth.verify('password2', hashed, function(err, verified) {
    console.log(verified); // False, passwords don't match
  ));
});
