Answer 1

You are using

if (!user.validPassword(password)) {
    return done(null, false, { message: 'Incorrect password.' });
}

but you haven't defined validPassword method. Attach it to your schema:

var authSchema = mongoose.Schema({ 
    username: 'string',
    password: 'string'
});
authSchema.methods.validPassword = function( pwd ) {
    // EXAMPLE CODE!
    return ( this.password === pwd );
};

EDIT You've also incorrectly defined the schema. It should be:

var authSchema = mongoose.Schema({ 
    username: String,
    password: String
});

Note that both username and password should be String type objects, not strings "string", if you know what I mean. :)
