Re:Your Node.js authentication tutorial is wrong

There isn't one.
I think that the Node ecosystem tends toward minimalism and compartmentalization in modules, and in doing so monolithic authentication solutions don't really exist like they do in other frameworks in which there's more "magic", like Ruby/Rails.
You'd have to choose a higher-level Node.js-based framework, and there isn't an emergent solution yet. Personally I've been directed toward Hapi and Feathers.js as of late. Feathers I committed some PRs to and filed some issues against this weekend, which the maintainers are taking seriously, but it could use some more functionality and deeper testing. Hapi I haven't personally looked at, but is backed by some of the Auth0 guys.
