In the index.pug file supplied there is actually a login form. It has previously been hidden because of the inline javascript <code>if showLogin</code> with the form indented after it. Before showLogin as a variable was never defined, it never rendered the code block containing the form. Go ahead and on the res.render for that page add a new variable to the object <code>showLogin: true</code>. When you refresh your page, you should then see the form! This form is set up to <b>POST</b> on <em>/login</em> so this is where we should set up to accept the POST and authenticate the user. In the index.pug file supplied there is actually a login form.

This form is set up to <b>POST</b> on <em>/login</em> so this is where we should set up to accept the POST and authenticate the user.
For this challenge you should add the route /login to accept a POST request. To authenticate on this route you need to add a middleware to do so before then sending a response. This is done by just passing another argument with the middleware before your <code>function(req,res)</code> with your response! The middleware to use is <code>passport.authenticate('local')</code>.

This is done by just passing another argument with the middleware before your <code>function(req,res)</code> with your response! The middleware to use is <code>passport.authenticate('local')</code>.
<em>passport.authenticate</em> can also take some options as an argument such as: <code>{ failureRedirect: '/' }</code> which is incredibly useful so be sure to add that in as well. As a response after using the middleware (which will only be called if the authentication middleware passes) should be to redirect the user to <em>/profile</em> and that route should render the view 'profile.pug'. <em>passport.authenticate</em> can also take some options as an argument such as: <code>{ failureRedirect: '/' }</code> which is incredibly useful so be sure to add that in as well.

If the authentication was successful, the user object will be saved in <em>req.user</em>. If the authentication was successful, the user object will be saved in <em>req.user</em>.
