Is there any user accounts library built on top of passport.js other than ooth? #622

I'm the developer of ooth. Just created a pull request to add this as a related library: #621

Almost a year ago I was looking for a library that could manage user accounts (coming from meteorland which does that out of the box), allowing you to register with multiple strategies (namely username/email/password, facebook, google) safely storing credentials, attaching new strategies while logged in, handling linked information such as emails. I quickly ended up on passport.js, but thought it is quite low-level. There is a lot of logic everyone has to build from scratch again and again. So I created ooth. Today, with 144 commits it moved out of alpha to version 1, and to my knowledge it's the best generic way to add user accounts logic to a node.js app.

So I wanted to ask people here: has anyone been able to add accounts to their apps without using a proprietary service like auth0 and without implementing the whole user account flow on their own? If yes, I'd be happy to learn. If no, I'd be happy for people to try out ooth as a free and open alternative and let me know what you think.
