session: false doesn't work

See original GitHub issue

Session: false is not working. Your docs say it should be specified in options. But that’s not true. It doesn’t work that way.

passport.use(new LocalStrategy({
    usernameField: 'email',
    passwordField: 'passwd',
    session: false
  },
  function(username, password, done) {
    // ...
  }
));

Either change docs of modify the code. Because it has to be like this, not in initial config

passport.authenticate('local', {session:false})

Same here. Looking in the source code I can’t see anywhere where the session-option is actually used 🤔

Looks like a documentation error.

session: false option only works in passport.authenticate('local', { session: false })
