Looking in to making a simple Angular - Node app and of course I have come across PassportJS for auth. Looking at the website, I'm finding it difficult to understand why I need it or what it does for me?
My users will login using a username and password. Why can't I just find a matching record in the db, set a session if required and return a response? Why should/would I use Passport for this?
No real reason, if that's all you want to do. Using passport starts to pay off when you start incorporating other authorization providers, such as Facebook, Twitter, google, etc.

I am building an standard MERN application with login, register, authentication, tokens etc and i'm not sure about how to work with Cookies (also using Redux for the auth).
So far i've been using cookie-parser from NodeJS to set the user and jwt cookies when i log in, and to remove them when i logout.
The issue is that i don't know how to read them from the front-end to access the user data to modify the name, mail, password etc

I recently started reading the Stripe connect doc, which I've been following, but it seems like it supports only one time. I'm creating a project where sellers can create a membership plan and user's can subscribe to them. How can I achieve this, please? (I'm using nodejs by the way.)
Yes. Stripe Billing supports Connect. There are a few different ways to set this up, so it really depends on your business model.
Here's a good starting place: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/subscriptions

Am trying to get Facebook and google login functionality integrated in my node.js app.
I have heard of passport library but has never used it. Can anybody help me,whether to use this library or write the code without it?
link for passport lib:- http://passportjs.org/docs/facebook
if suggesting passport library,kindly share its pros and cons.
TIA.
Everything is basically already done for you with Passport. I would say that and the fact that it has a huge community behind it is it's biggest advantages. If you need an example how to do it (and how easy it is) I recommend from this article on scotch.io

I have read in many security related articles that on an incorrect login to a site the site should not specify whether the username or password is incorrect..
And This is true in practice also...Most sites report invalid login as
Either Username or password incorrect
What are the reasons that this type of error message is encouraged....??
If this really is the correct method, then why does stackoverflow site show what exactly is incorrect rather than the general practice...?
