How to protect the password field in Mongoose/MongoDB so it won’t return in a query when I populate collections?

by

You can change the default behavior at the schema definition level using the select attribute of the field:

password: { type: String, select: false }

Then you can pull it in as needed in find and populate calls via field selection as '+password'. For example:

Users.findOne({_id: id}).select('+password').exec(...);
