Implied technologies

Detecting Passport.js implies these are in the stack too - a report lists them alongside it.

How we audit Passport.js

We measure the detected version against Passport.js's release history and grade the surrounding stack with a Lighthouse-grade quality audit. Weak or outdated links weigh more - one risky dependency can pull the whole score down.
