How to update req.user session object set by passportjs?

Question

I\'m trying to do this since a lot of days but all my tests fails...

Users on my platform connect them by using passportjs strategies (paypal, facebook, google...).<

Answer 1

This is still one of the top results for 'update session passport js', so I thought I'd add what worked for me (the provided answers didn't work for me):

req.session.passport.user.updatedfield= 'updatedvalue'
req.session.save(function(err) {console.log(err);}

Without req.session.save() the session data would not update for me. Hope this helps someone.
